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

TWO SERVICES: 8:30 and 10:30 AM

8:30 AM: A 45-minute service of readings, prayer, music led from the piano, and Eucharist. Smaller, and less traditional than our 10:30 service, this service uses a variety of resources that include but are not limited to the Book of Common Prayer, while still remaining distinctly Episcopal in nature. This is a quieter and more contemplative experience.

10:30 AM: An hour-long service of readings, prayer, music from both the organ and piano, and Eucharist. This is our more traditional service that follows the Book of Common Prayer, and is generally our larger congregation, with families and children generally choosing this service. Nursery care is available during this service.

Our 10:30 service is live streamed via YouTube Live stream right here:

LENTEN WEDNESDAYS 2026

Lenten Wednesdays: February 25 - March 25

Soup supper together at 5:45 PM (you can sign up to bring something in the parish hall!)

  • :Break-out groups for all ages at 6:30:

    • Kids, Youth, and Families: When Jesus was in the desert, he was not alone. Scripture tells us that "angels" were with him, and helped him get by. We'll explore together what it means to be angels to one another: good friends who support each other on our own lives' journeys. Different families will share family games, songs, or traditions each week as a "get to know you" activity designed to help us draw closer as a community.

    • Adults or mature teens: A book study of the book The False White Gospel by Jim Wallis. In this book, Jim explore the ideology behind Christian Nationalism. If you would like help either ordering, or buying, the book, please see Jennifer ASAP.

  • Holden Evening Prayer at 7:20. This short liturgy (about) 20 minutes is a lovely sung service that is a Saint Anne's favorite.

FIRST NATIONS KITCHEN IN MARCH

We are continuing our partnership with First Nations Kitchen and could use your hands and time for our first congregation shift of 2026 ! There are 10 spots available. This is a different shift than we have volunteered for in the past. This team offers a beverages and shares meals and bags of produce. Positions include: Table Hosts, Bag Runners, Signer(s), Beverage Host, and Custodial point person. As of Sunday, 1/11/26, FNK has moved the Give Away Shift indoors for safety. 

"The City of Minneapolis Health Dept says no children under 14 are to be handling hot food (means mostly dealing directly with cooking or dishing out). Parents are probably the best judge of whether their child will comply with guidelines and be able to handle a two hour shift that is sometimes busy then very slow. Most of the jobs are hosting various tables and cleaning up. We ask that parents accompany and supervise their children in tasks during the time when so many people are walking through the building picking up food. All adults signing up should indicate ages of children in the comments on the SignUp Genius. It is helpful info for us and we can recruit more adults if balance is off. FNK enjoys having children."

ADULT ED FOR LENT

Sunday Conversations on Ten by Twenty
February 22 through March 22
9:30-10:15 in the Fireside Room
 
Ten by Twenty distills key practices of mindful living into ten gentle reminders. With brief phrases, each reminder invites us to a single focus: breath, inner attention, greetings, exchanges, words and silences, judgments, beliefs, forgiveness, the sacred, and the power of wonder. 

The little book takes less than five minutes to read, but many days to ponder (and many more to become a regular habit).
 
Come and be with others on the Lenten Sundays ahead as we explore some of the  reminders together. The five sessions will invite us to wonder, feel, listen, share, and
imagine beyond the words on each page. Come when you can—there is no commitment to attend all the conversations. 
 
The book is free, in large or mini format. Copies are in the parish hall.
