A list of items needed, and a sign-up to volunteer will be on the bulletin board. If writing a check, please be sure to include “Soup Kitchen” on the memo line.

FUTURE EVENTS

SPECIAL UPDATE- Father Ted Neidlinger, recently retired from Christ the King Episcopal Church in Huntington, and who served as our supply priest earlier this summer, has agreed to supply at St. Anne’s until the end of the year. He will be handling all service duties on Sundays and feast days and will additionally be in the office one day a week to handle pastoral care issues, assist us in study groups and formation opportunities, and otherwise provide his guidance to us while we are in our search for a new rector. His first Sunday service will be September 20th, and we are very happy to have him!

CHEESEBALLS- The dates for mixing & rolling cheeseballs will be Sept. 14 & 15, 28 & 29, Oct. 12 & 13, 26 & 27, and Nov. 9 & 10. For any questions contact Cathy Carter.

PET BLESSING– This year St. Francis Day actually falls on a Sunday. We will acknowledge this by offering pet blessings at the services on October 4, 2026. Each pet will be blessed individually. They should be on a leash or in an appropriate pet carrier. So many of us have been blessed by our animal friends it is right that we should thank God for them and bless them in return.

ST. ANNE’S GRIEF GROUP- Will be held on Wednesday, October 7th at 9:30am in the St. Anne’s parlor.
