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:

The Feast of the Epiphany

The Feast of the Epiphany is a celebration of the arrival of the magi - the "three wise men" as they are colloquially known - in Bethlehem to meet Jesus.The Season of Epiphany is the season of time between the Feast of the Epiphany on January 6th through the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday. The length of the Season of Epiphany varies according to the date of Easter. This year Easter is on April 5th and we have five Sundays after Epiphany before Ash Wednesday on February 18th.

During Epiphany, the gospel stories celebrate the awe of encountering Jesus through his teachings and miracles. Epiphany calls us beyond our comfort zones to seek the Divine just beyond familiar boundaries. This season of stars and journeys, of seeking and finding, is reflected in our liturgy through prayers, readings, and music shaped by light and invitation. In this season, you are invited to follow the signs and stars to new places, and to encounter Christ along the way.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS

Here are some upcoming Saint Anne's events you'll want to keep on your calendars:

  • March 29: Palm Sunday

  • April 5: Easter Sunday

Special Collection: Casa Maria

Saint Anne’s Peace & Justice committee recently provided some emergent financial support to Casa Maria during this sad and difficult time. The Bishop’s office had helped spread the word that Casa Maria (a small but growing ministry of St Nicholas church in Richfield) has been stretched very thin as their requests for food have increased exponentially during these months of Operation Metro Surge. Please consider a donation! Thank you! 

REMINDER: WHILE JENNIFER IS AWAY

In lieu of taking a sabbatical in 2026 (it will happen in 2027!) Jennifer is going to use a good portion of her vacation time this year in one chunk. She will be away from Saint Anne's for two more Sundays: February 1st, and February 8th. But never fear, Saint Anne's is in very good hands.

SUNDAY MORNINGS: We are blessed to have our priests-in-residence, the Rev. Bob Furniss, and the Rev. Joanie Delamater, and our priest curate, the Rev. Luis Ottley, and preaching and presiding.

PASTORAL CARE: If a pastoral care issue arises, please contact Dianne Del Giorno. If a priest is needed, Dianne will make those arrangements. 

WEEKLY ANNOUNCER: Carolyn will be managing the Weekly Announcer, please send anything you have to share to her.

URGENT BUILDING ISSUE. If there is a plumbing or electric issue, please contact Nancy, who will know who to call.
