Rooted in the past, reaching for the future
John Rutter’s Requiem, a service of Prayer and Word in Music, will be presented by St. Mary Anne’s Choir on Palm Sunday afternoon, April 9th, at 4:00PM. Get the word out to friends and family who like to sing, and have them contact our Director of Music, Steve McBride for details.
After this Sunday’s Service, January 29th, our youth will stand outside with a soup pot and request cash donations for our Outreach. This activity began more than 25 years ago, with a simple prayer from a youth group:
Are you interested in welcoming newcomers to our parish? Would you enjoy being a greeter to introduce a newcomer to our parish and church community? If you are friendly, love St. Mary Anne’s, and like to chat, this is the committee for you! February’s meeting time TBA. Contact: Karen Schaeffer
Dance your way to feeling better with one of the most popular exercise programs in the country. A great way to get in shape and have fun in the process! Open to 55 years old and older people.

Women’s Fellowship Circles are Forming!
Are you interested in building deeper relationships with other women in the parish? If so, join a Women’s Fellowship Circle!
Our first ECW Fellowship Day (WFD), this past November, has encouraged us to form a couple of Women’s Fellowship Circles to discuss, in more depth, some of the topics raised during that workshop such as: forgiveness, anxiety and fears, friendship building, and simplifying our lives.
Did you miss that day? No worries if you didn’t attend November’s event, as we will do a topic review to get the discussion rolling. Additional discussion ideas will be determined in the months ahead.
Once the circles are formed, we will gather one evening a month, from 7-9PM, in a parishioner’s home. One circle, will be held in the Chesapeake Isle area; another will be close to the church; and a third, may be in the Elkton area. Meetings may be held on either a Wednesday and Friday evening.
Women of all ages are encouraged to join in as we begin to formulate our circles and meeting locations. So far, 15 women have expressed an interest!
Please, let Karen Schaeffer know if you are interested—by January 29th (Annual Meeting Day)!
