The last day of regular Sunday School will be May 18. We will begin the summer schedule, with Sunday services at 8:00 a.m., 10:00 a.m., and  5:00 p.m., on May 25. There will not be a 5:00 service on May 25, however, due to Memorial Day weekend.

This Sunday, May 11, join us at 7:45 a.m. for the MISSIONS CAR WASH. If you are participating in a mission trip this summer, or would like to support your peers who are, please join us to wash cars in the parking lot during the morning worship services. Come dressed to get wet!

You have your tie-dye t-shirt, now all you have to do is sign up to walk with the St. Anne's RELAY FOR LIFE team, "The Grateful Living" on May 17-18. More information about how to sign up and participate has already been emailed to you.

Finally, the 2^nd Annual MESSY GAMES END OF THE YEAR BBQ is scheduled for Saturday, May 31 from 5:00-8:00 p.m. Trust us...you're gonna want to wear something you don't mind getting really stained and messy. Seriously, trust us.

Philadelphia Mission Trip Meeting

If you are signed up to participate on the June 28-July 3 mission trip to Philadelphia please come to our planning meeting on Sunday, May 18 from 12:45 - 1:45 p.m. We will divide up the pre-trip responsibilities amongst the group members, go over the schedule and assignments for the trip, and we will assess what supplies we need for our work at the shelter. Please let Rev. Laura if you are able to attend or not.

We'll be doing our monthly food distribution on May 15 and it'd be great if you can help us with:

20 10-29 oz boxes of low-sugar cereal

20 16-18 jars of jelly

20 bags of black beans

20 cans of low sodium vegetables (preferably not green)

The Ageless Group / Life Planning Group will next meet at Saint Anne's on Saturday, May 17 from 10:00 to 11:30 a.m. There are three proposed agenda topics:

1. What topics would you like to discuss at future meetings over the next several months? A starter list, drawn from your feedback during the life planning workshops, will help drive the discussion. 

2. Should the group continue to meet over the summer months, usually on the fourth Saturday morning of each month, or should we take a summer break?

3. Is there a more appropriate name than the Ageless Group for this gathering?

On May 19, the Book Group will be meeting at Café Montmartre in Lake Anne Plaza to discuss Shores of Knowledge: New World Discoveries and the Scientific Imagination by Joyce Appleby. The Book Group will take a break for the summer and meet up again on Sept. 15. At that time they will discuss The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd.

Support our mission trips and drive home in a clean car! Our annual car wash will be held during all three morning services on this Sunday. Sign your car in on the way to any Sunday morning service and it will be washed and waiting for you afterward. Donations will support our missions programs.

We have the unique opportunity to view the world premiere of a play written by Jennifer Jones, a playwright with a deep connection to St. Anne's. We invite you to join us for a performance of Sunday's Child on Saturday, May 31, in the evening. Please click here to see a flyer for the performance. Also, a sign up sheet is in the Narthex or you can contact the Church Office. Ticket and bus transportation to and from St. Anne's to Gainesville, VA is $50.  Checks should be made out to St. Anne's (note theater series on your check.)  For questions, contact either Jim Hunter or Lorraine Cross.
