LIFE @ St. Anne's - 3/20/2021

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)


Parish Life

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.

Plastic Bags – A new bin has been set outside the church for the collection of plastic grocery bags.  Meg knows a woman who crochets them into mats for the homeless.  If you have more plastic bags than you need please drop them off at the church.

Giving Sunday There is a  collection bin for donations to Hillcrest & St. Michael’s pantry at the church, outside the front.  You can swing by and drop off your donations and the bin will be checked weekly.  If you have donations to make and need someone to come by, Toni (816.289.9820) would be happy to swing by and make a pick-up.
