Cursillo
You're invited! Cursillo is a weekend for adults that is a "short course' in Christianity. This is a wonderful opportunity to be renewed in your faith and make strong connections with other Christians to help support one another in our common life in Christ. The next Cursillo is Setember 16-19 at All Saints' Camp at Lake Texoma. Applications are available in the Cursillo mailbox outside the elementary Sunday School rooms or contact the church office.
Parish Pictorial Directory
A new directory will be available beginning September 12. Draft directories are out for review at the name tag stations and in the parish hall. Please review your family's entry and submit corrected information if needed. If you need a photo or want to update the photo we have on file, please stop by the parish hall between services so we can snap a new photo. Or you may submit your own photo by email to the church office.

Children’s Chapel to Resume In October
Children’s Chapel is led by rotating leaders and we invite parents or others to assist. Children from ages 4 through 8 are welcome to take part in Children’s Chapel. We will resume Children's Chapel at the 9am service in October. Please see Susan Alexander or Fr. Andrew if you have questions.
Our Mission
We, the congregation of St Anne Episcopal Church, embracing unity not uniformity, respond to God’s call to be Christ’s presence in the world. Through our common life we dedicate ourselves to worship God, serve others, study the faith and proclaim the Gospel.
All Visitors Welcome
We invite all people to attend our services. One doesn’t need to be an Episcopalian or even familiar with the Episcopal Church to visit. Let us share with you the sacred story of Jesus Christ and the hospitality of our community.
Our prayer is that on this occasion of receiving Communion in the Episcopal Church, all visitors may find their lives strengthened in God’s grace and encouraged to love God and serve both neighbors and strangers in the name of Christ.
Holy Baptism
Holy Baptism is administered in the context of the Sunday Eucharist. Candidates for baptism are infants & young children of members of the parish and older children and adults who desire to make a mature and public commitment to the Christian faith. Typically, Baptism is administered at the Great Vigil of Easter, Pentecost, All Saints' Sunday, and the Sunday after the Epiphany. Classes for parents and available godparents of infants and children precede each baptism date. Please contact Fr. Andrew if you have any questions. Baptismal forms can be found in the Church Narthex, Parish Hall or Office Foyer “Baptismal Forms” mailbox located in the Ministry Building.

Children in Worship
In 1991, the congregation voted to use the name “Saint Anne” because of the significant connection she had with two children. She was the earthly grandmother of Jesus and she was the mother of Mary. Anne played a critical part in Mary becoming the mother of our Lord. Anne must have taught Mary to pray, to listen for the voice of God and to risk a “yes” when God called her. We are obliged to be like Saint Anne for the children in our community of faith. Part of our baptismal promise is that we will do all in our power to support the children of our parish to grow into the full stature of Christ.
