Welcome Message

Welcome to St. Anne’s Episcopal Church! We are a faith-filled community, following the example of our Lord Jesus Christ and making a difference in the lives of people. All are welcome here!

At St. Anne’s, we believe that all church members are called to minister to God’s people through various roles in the Sunday Service, Christian Formation and/or through various outreach projects and programs. Please explore our website and feel free to contact us.

If you are curious about what we believe and teach, the best way to satisfy that curiosity is to come and worship with us! We have weekly services on Sundays at 8 am and 10:15 am and Wednesday evenings at 5:30 p.m.

We hope that we will see you here very soon!

God bless,

St Anne’s Episcopal Church

What time are church services on Sundays?

Service Times are: 8 am and 10:15 am on Sunday mornings.

Are the two services different from each other? If yes, how are they different?

The 8 am service is a solemn, contemplative service with music only during Communion. It is what is known as a Rite I Service in The Book of Common Prayer.

The 10:15 am service uses contemporary language and music from the 1982 Hymnal and other sources. The St. Anne’s Choir, and occasional instrumentalists, provide music during Communion. This is a Rite II service, which is also found in The Book of Common Prayer.

Is there a nursery?

Yes, for children ages newborn-preschool at the 10:15 am service.

Where is it located?

The nursery is on the main floor. As you enter the church, turn left toward the coat rack and the nursery is the first door to the left in the hallway.

How do I sign my children up for Sunday School?

Children are welcome into Sunday School at any time throughout the year. If you are visiting, please ask the greeters or ushers for help finding the Sunday School classrooms upstairs.

Sunday School begins the Sunday after Labor Day and goes through Pentecost Sunday, which is usually mid-May.

Is there Sunday School for Adults?

Reflections Bible Study is offered on Tuesday mornings from 10 to 11 a.m.  At Reflections, we study and discuss the scripture readings for the upcoming Sunday.

How do I become a member of St. Anne’s?

To become a part of our church community, the first thing to do is worship with us. Worship is very much at the heart of the Anglican and Episcopal faith – it’s what we do, how we pray, who we are.

Once a year, depending on when the bishop visits, we hold Confirmation classes. These are for anyone new to our church, those who are curious about our faith or those interested in being confirmed in the Episcopal Church. If you are an Anglican or Episcopalian and are just looking for a refresher, this class is also for you. You can even reaffirm your faith when the bishop is here.

If you wish to have your marriage celebrated at St. Anne’s, we ask that you make our parish family your spiritual home, take an active part in our common life together and worship with us regularly.
