LIFE @ St. Anne's - 8/25/2021

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 blessed week.
 


 

At present we see only puzzling reflections in a mirror, but one day we shall see face to face. My knowledge know is partial then it will be whole like God’s knowledge of me. 

                                                                                                                                                     1 Corinthians 13:12                                                                                                                                                      (Revised English Bible)
