We are called to be Christ’s loving arms in the world

TWO SUNDAY SERVICES: 8:30 and10:30 AM

8:30 AM: A 45-minute service of readings, prayer, music led from the piano, and Eucharist. Smaller, and less traditional than our 10:30 service, this service uses a variety of resources that include but are not limited to the Book of Common Prayer, while still remaining distinctly Episcopal in nature. This is a quieter and more contemplative experience.

10:30 AM: The 10:30 service this week will be led by the youth of our parish. Out of an abundance of caution for their safety and privacy there will be no livestream of this service. If you are looking for a livestream service this week, we invite you to join Washington National Cathedral's service as an alternative (https://www.youtube.com/@wncathedral/streams).

MARK YOUR CALENDARS

Here are some upcoming Saint Anne's events you'll want to keep on your calendars:

  • May 15: Silent Book Club 6 PM

  • May 17: Youth-led Service 10:30 AM

OUTDOOR SERVICES BEGIN MAY 24: 9:30 AM

During the summer months Saint Anne's moves to one service at 9:30 AM. Weather permitting, we hold this service in our outdoor chapel. While we're not quite "rain or shine", we do make every effort to be outside.

If the weather is slightly cool or cloudy but not showing a high chance of rain, we'll plan to be out. If it is hot but not in a dangerous heat index, we'll be out. If it rains on Saturday night (and you'd be surprised at how often that happens!) you may want to bring a towel to sit on.

See you under the trees on May 24!

PENTECOST IS COMING!

Pentecost Sunday is May 24th - AND our first outdoor service of the season, weather permitting! We have a few fun Pentecost traditions at Saint Anne's:

  • Wear red!

  • We'll have a festive coffee hour following our service - bring a red food to share! 

  • It is Saint Anne's tradition to read the Gospel in many different languages all at once on Pentecost Sunday - giving us a taste of what that first Pentecost may have been like. If you can read aloud in any other language - Spanish? French? German? Filipino? Latin? Elvish? - please email Jennifer and she'll send you the reading in your preferred language. NOTE: You'll be reading at the same time as many others, and no one will even hear your pronunciation. If you'd like to participate, but are not able to read in a language other than English, we also have various English translations available.
