We are called to be Christ’s loving arms in the world

ONE SERVICE: 9:30 AM, OUTDOOR CHAPEL

During the summer months Saint Anne's moves to one service at 9:30 AM, which is a blend of our usual 8:30 and 10:30 styles. Weather permitting, we hold this service in our outdoor chapel. While we're not quite "rain or shine", we do make every effort to be outside.

If the weather is slightly cool or cloudy but not showing a high chance of rain, we'll plan to be out. If it is hot but not in a dangerous heat index, we'll be out. If it rains on Saturday night (and you'd be surprised at how often that happens!) you may want to bring a towel to sit on.

See you under the trees!

HOUSE CHURCH GATHERINGS: JULY 5

It's a Saint Anne's summer tradition by now! (Two years in a row does make "tradition" in the Episcopal church, yes?) On July 5, in lieu of a regular worship service, we will have "House Church" gatherings at several different locations. We already have several locations lined up, but there's room for more - if you are interested in hosting, please contact Jennifer.

Why house gatherings? 

A house gathering is a chance to come together in a more personal, relaxed setting. It's an opportunity for real conversation in a smaller group. It can be a welcoming place to ask questions, share stories, and build genuine friendships. One beauty of a house church gathering is the reminder that church isn't a building or a service, it's people.

For those who simply prefer a more structured gathering, we will have Morning Prayer at Saint Anne's that day, at 9:30 as usual.

PLEASE RSVP FOR PARADE SEASON!

Our local parades are a fantastic way to get out into the community and let people know Saint Anne's is here. To that end, Saint Anne's is once again planning to march in the West St. Paul and Kaposia Days this summer, and we need YOU! No, really, we do. A parade is only a parade if people show up!  

  • The West St. Paul Parade is Saturday, June 6. Line up at 9:30 AM, Parade at 10:30 AM

  • The Kaposia Days Parade is Friday, June 26, Line up at 5 PM, Parade at 6:30 PM

Please email Jennifer if you're able to march in one or both parades: if we have fewer than 15 people available for either parade, we will reconsider our participation in that parade. We need many hands to throw that candy! And speaking of candy - if you are not able to walk in the parades, but are able to supply some candy for sharing along the parade route, that would be much appreciated. 

A huge thank you to Jessie Poucher for her energy or these parades - and for signing us up!
