Announcing: St. Mary Anne’s YouTube Channel!

by

Q. I’ve heard about YouTube–can you please tell me more?
A. It’s a video sharing service where we can watch, like, share, comment and upload our own videos. We can watch these videos on home computers, tablets and via smart phones.
Q. Why did you create a St. Mary Anne’s Episcopal Church YouTube Channel?
A. So you won’t miss worship services during this time of social distancing. This Holy Week, Father John will record and post videos of our Palm Sunday Service, Monday Evening Prayer, Wednesday Vespers, Good Friday Service, and our Easter Morning Service on our new YouTube channel. He already posted a few Morning Prayer services on the channel, and also a 2018 Christmas Eve performance by Joel and Alex.
Q. So what do I have to do?
A. It’s easy! Just click here, and it will bring you to the channel. Hit the red “subscribe” button so the channel will be listed as one of your favorites. Then, click on the videos you want to watch. If you can, “like” the video by clicking on the “thumbs up” icon. You can also post comments.
Q. How will I know when you post a new video?
A. We will send you an announcement and a link when we post a new video!
Q. Does the video go away after you watch it?
A. No. You can watch it multiple times, and we encourage you to share the link with others.
Q. How many 314 year old church parishes have their own YouTube Channel?
A. We suspect, not too many!

St. Mary Anne’s Lenten Mission Project

by

Water is a Blessing! We announce an exciting opportunity for our congregation! Our Mission Committee decided to partner with North East United Methodist Church and raise funds for clean water for villages in the Democratic Republic of Congo. This is an established and ongoing mission initiative for the United Methodist Church, which installed seven new wells in 2019 alone. The cost of a well is $13,000. Our parish goal is $2,000. Pastor Drew Christian, at NEUM, has a matching grant that will double our donations!
During Sunday’s Adult Forum, Rick Waterhouse, our Mission Committee Chairperson, will share with you the specifics of our goal to help a Congolese village. If you would like more information about the wells project, you can also join the NEUM Church congregation on Wednesday, March 18 at 7:00 pm. Jonathan and Donna Baker, missionaries who have worked in the Congo on this initiative, will speak about their experiences. Join us in loving our neighbors throughout the world this Lenten season!
How to donate? Our Mission Committee asks that you donate a “glass” of water to help. We will have donation cards, in the shape of a water glass, strung up in our Parish Hall.
  • Take a “glass” and write on it the name of someone you are honoring
  • Clip it to the lifeline in the Parish Hall
  • Decide on a donation–its up to you!
  • Write a check payable to St. Mary Anne’s with “Water Project” in the notation.
  • Put your check in the offering plate or send to the church office. Or you can go online to our website and click on “Give Today”. When you make your donation online, type “Water Project” in the notes box.

Our Lenten Supper Series begins this Sunday, 4PM

by

This Lent we will ponder the themes of justice, poverty, grace and love, as we explore Victor Hugo’s epic novel Les Miserables. You may have read the book, seen the musical, the recent PBS series, or one of the many movie adaptations of this powerful story.
With the help of Matt Rawle’s study series, “The Grace of Les Miserables”, we will look at the parallels between this iconic story and our Christian calling, inspiring us to understand our faith and live it out in the world.
Join us for 4 Sundays: March 8, 15, 22, and 29th from 4-6PM in the Parish Hall. We will have the video presentation and discussion first, and then share a soup/casserole dinner between 5-6PM.
We will have sign-ups this Sunday for soup, salad, or casseroles. You can order your copy of “The Grace of Les Miserables book by Matt Rawle on Amazon for @14.00. We will have limited copies available.
