Parish Life
Easter Egg Hunt – weather permitting we will be having our annual Easter Egg hunt on the west lawn of the church. We are asking for donations of pre-wrapped candy or small toys to stuff the eggs with. A collection basket will be set outside for the next two weeks after church.
Spring Clean-up – Sunday, March 28 - wear your work clothes, bring your lunch, and stay after church for awhile. We will be having our ministry groups meet to set some vision for later this year as we move toward opening up the church and we will do some cleaning in preparation for Easter.
Prayers of the People – we have added a lot of names for healing and guidance over the winter months. Please take a look at the list and if you know any of the people on the list whose specific needs have been met, let Toni know and we will move their names from the list.

Church in the Parking lot is back - It was great to see so many people out last Sunday. We will continue to meet in the parking lot moving forward unless it is too wet or the temp. gets below 35. Everything will be just like this fall when we met outside. The service will still be streamed on Facebook and YouTube. We will also transmit the service via radio for those who want to be there, but stay in their car. Consider bringing your lunch and hanging out for awhile. We are still limiting the number of people in the building at one time to 2-3. While outside masks are optional, but required when in the building. If the service is moved inside, you will be notified by 9:00, via our private members only FaceBook group, "We are the church, St. Anne's", that congregants should stay home. There will be no virtual coffee hour . Please let Laura know if you are not on FaceBook and she will look for another quick way to be sure you are notified if we move the service inside.
