September 20, 2009 Rector's Reflection  
 
Today we began our "Fall/Winter/Spring" Schedule at church. 
I trust it did not catch you by surprise: 
          8:30 Eucharist
          9:15 Sunday School 
         10:00 Eucharist with Music
 
     We enjoyed a wonderful morning.  I was especially pleased with the beginning of our Sunday School year.  And -- the opening of our new Nursery.  Now -- the children and babies will all find a special place at St. Ann's.
      If you were present this morning - thank you for contributing to the meaningful liturgy and worship.  If you were not present -- be safe in your travels, be rested in your activities, be well in body and spirit, and be at St. Ann's when next you are able.
      Don't forget -- Tomorrow is the deadline for ordering your lobsters.  Call your order in (815-338-0950), or drop it by and put it in the mail slot at the church, or simply order online a www.stannswoodstock.org.
      Don't forget -- either -- this Thursday -- Sept. 24 -- Bishop Joseph Atem, from Renk, Sudan, at St. Ann's. See all the details below.  (Nursery will be provided.  Bring all the children!)
 
Please, scroll down the announcements and articles below - you don't want to miss anything!  Thank you.
God Bless You!
