Newcomers tell us that from the moment they walk through the front door of St. Anne’s, they feel a warm welcome. Our greeters are there to provide any assistance or information you require. We invite you to introduce yourself at the end of the service and hope you will attend our coffee hour to get to know us better.
Newcomers Coffees are offered every other month following the 9:00 am and 11:15 am services. These coffees provide an opportunity for those who have recently come to St. Anne’s to meet the clergy and staff, along with some members of the parish family; to hear the unique story of St. Anne’s beginnings; to learn about the Episcopal Church in general and St. Anne’s in particular; and to hear about the variety of ministries we offer and how to get involved.
Once a quarter, we offer a New Member Recognition during one of our morning services for those who would like to recognize formally their desire to become members of St. Anne’s.
Our Inquirers’ Series is offered during Lent for those new to St. Anne’s or new to the Episcopal Church. The series is also of interest to anyone who wants to find out more about the Episcopal Church and our Christian faith. This multi-week program begins with a meal. Newcomers find that -- in addition to a time of preparation for Confirmation or Reception -- this is an ideal way to get to know other members of the parish.
You are always welcome to join us for our worship services and our wide range of activities–all designed to help you in your spiritual and daily life.
