Sunday, April 26th is the date of St. Anne’s Spring Bake Sale after the 9 AM and 11 AM services in the Parish Hall. Those of you who have come and bought in the past bake sales know about the wonderful delicious delights that are homemade for this event. There are cookies, cakes, pies, jellies, brownies, muffins, breads and much more. So please come and support our Bake Sale; the monies brought in from this event will go back into our church for a special purpose. Many thanks for your help, and many thanks to everyone that brings food to sell!

We are actively looking for families who would like to help in the Church School next fall. Volunteers are needed to lead Children’s Chapel, teach Church School classes and help with special events involving the children. The involvement of many families makes this rewarding commitment enjoyable and easy to fulfill. If you would like to learn more about how you can get involved, please speak to Father James or Grace Hurst. We hope this will be your year to say yes!

From Maundy Thursday evening through Good Friday morning, we keep watch before the Blessed Sacrament at the Altar of Repose. The commemorates for us the disciples being asked to watch and pray with Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemine the night before He was crucified. And Jesus said to Peter, “So you could not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.” Mt. 26: 40-41. So that we can make certain there are at least two people keeping watch for each hour of the Vigil, please print your name on the poster by the main door in the narthex. This way we can be certain that there is always someone before the Blessed Sacrament, and we can ensure people’s safety.
