LIFE @ St. Anne's - 6/2/2022
Hi <<First Name>>, welcome to LIFE @ St. Anne's. We hope this will help you keep up with all the happenings here at St. Anne's. Have a blessed week.
Tuesday was The Visitation- the day on which we celebrate Mary learning of her pregnancy and going to be with her cousin, Elizabeth, who is also expecting a divine child. It would be so easy- natural even- for these two women to feel threatened by each other. And yet we see the opposite- two women loving, caring, and supporting the other. I think this is an important lesson for us as Christians and humans in this world. We often feel pulled toward jealousy or feeling threatened by the ministry or success of others. But in truth, any proclamation of the Gospel is a success for us all. Any joy experienced; any corner of The Kingdom built up is a celebration for us all. Take a moment to delight in the work and ministry of someone else. When we support and build one another up- we are empowering the work of Christ.
Peace,
Meg+

Our community needs YOU, check below to see how you can help. If you're interested in starting up a ministry to address a need in the community please see Meg. The real work of being the church begins when we walk out our doors.
Refugee Apartment- If you would like to join our refugee ministry team please speak with Brie.
Hillcrest - Hillcrest is a transitional housing program for people who need a helping hand. St. Anne's sponsors an apartment for this program in partnership with St. Paul's Lee's Summit. Occasionally there is a need for supplies or volunteers to clean. The Hillcrest ministry is in need of items for their pantry. A list is above the white basket by the table in the Narthex.
St. Michael’s Pantry - St. Michael’s, Independence, hosts a necessity pantry providing a variety personal care items for those in our community needing assistance. This pantry can always use donations of men’s and women’s toiletry and personal hygiene items as well as dish soap and laundry detergent. Any donations should be left in the baskets located in the Narthex. The Pantry operates form 10a-2p the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month.
BackSnack - St. Anne's BackSnack ministry fills 60 backpacks each week with packets of non- perishable food for children at Lee's Summit Elementary. The food is provided by Harvester's and delivered to our church by Episcopal Community Services. BackSnack meets at 1:30 on Monday.
Beds of Bags- Join us to weave plastic bags into "plarn" that will be used to make beds for people who are homeless. We weave plarn before church on Sunday morning.
Hope and Kindness Bags – Now available at the church – Keep one in your car to give to a person standing at an intersection looking for help from passing motorists. Bag includes: hand towel, wash cloth, bar of soap, toothbrush, toothpaste, two high protein meal bars and a $5 gift certificate for McDonalds. Each bag has a greeting card with a caring message from St. Anne’s and a list of community service organization contacts for additional assistance. Please make a $10 Donation to cover the costs.
