Looking forward with hope: It is our prayer and hope that by Sunday, July 4 we will be able to return to a more normal life of worship here. On that date, we are looking forward to bringing back the ministries that have been suspended (acolyte, elements, nursery, healing team, chalice bearer, etc.). We also hope to resume coffee hour that Sunday as well. In preparation for that date, we would like to ask you to prayerfully consider volunteering to provide food for coffee hour and to sign up for the variety of ministries that serve the parish each Sunday. Sign ups for both coffee hour and the ministries are available in the parish hall. We ask all current volunteers and new volunteers sign up by Sunday, May 16. We will be scheduling orientation and training in June for all volunteers.
Collection for those in need: Many low-income households are in need of items that cannot be purchased with SNAP benefits (food stamps.) Among these items are feminine hygiene products and diapers for children and adults. The collection will take place on the first Sunday of each month, St. Ann's will begin accepting donations of these items for distribution to Social Services, who will deliver them to those in need. Your help is greatly appreciated. If you have any questions please contact Deacon Mary Carol.
Reminder: Please sit in every other pew. A six-foot social distance should be maintained, and face coverings are required at all times. Please use hand sanitizer upon entering and before Communion. Please place your offering in the plate in the back of the church.
Can we pray for you? Visit our website to submit your prayer request or to sign up to receive the prayer line emails.
Altar Flower Memorials: Would you like to have your loved ones remembered at our Sunday Services? The cost of the main altar memorials is $50 and the side altar is $35. There is an opening for the main altar on 6/27. There are side altar openings on 6/27, 7/11, 7/18, 7/25, 8/29, 9/12, 9/19, 11/28, 12/5, and 12/26. Please contact the parish office to provide the date and names you that you would like. Multiple memorials are accepted for any given date.
Parking Permits: Please remember to display your parking permit at all times while in the church lot. If you are in need of a new permit please contact the parish office. The parking regulations are posted in the parish hall.
Easily donate your redeemable bottles and cans to St. Ann’s in three easy steps:
- Pick up a green Clynk bag from the back of the church
- Fill the bag with your redeemable bottles and cans
