Thirty members of St. Anne's enjoyed a wonderful weekend camping in a quiet spot on the banks of the Shenandoah River's North Fork. The rain was a pleasant lullaby for Friday night's sleep, and it cleared out in time for us to enjoy swimming, canoeing, hiking, and exploring Harper's Ferry on Saturday. Over shared meals, around warm campfires (with lots of s'mores!), and through partaking in lots of ways to experience and enjoy the great outdoors we relished the opportunities for fellowship and deeper connections with God and one another. After a delicious pancake breakfast on Sunday, we concluded our weekend with worship and Eucharist riverside. We hope you'll join us in the fall! Click here to check out our video. 

Our Nightly Bread 

We have been delivering for 20 weeks now! With an average 4 ½ bins per run, that equals 85+ bins of baked goods - with a whopping estimated value of $8,500 (!!) worth of quality baked goods saved from the garbage and fed to hungry people in Reston.

We are currently feeding:
1)  the elderly at Lake Anne Fellowship House;
2)  those who receive a free bag of groceries at our Monthly Food Pantry; and
3)  the homeless, through our Facets program, which delivers hot meals to the homeless temporarily housed in motels.

In the summer our schedule for the Wednesday Noon Eucharist service changes a bit. In July the Wednesday Noon Eucharist service will be held July 2, 9, and 30. On July 16 there will be Noonday Prayer, but no Eucharist. There will be no Noon Service on July 23. The Noon Service will not be held during August. The service will resume on Sept. 3.

Jamie and Heather invite you to join them at St. Anne's Episcopal Church as they renew their vows to love and cherish one another on Saturday, July 26 at 2 p.m. Festive fellowship will follow the ceremony. Please RSVP to Heather by July 18. 

Every day the Embry Rucker Community Shelter provides lunch packages for their youth and adult guests.  At St. Anne's we gather together every 4-6 weeks for about 2 hours on a Saturday morning to make 120 lunches including sandwiches and other goodies.  This mission is good for all ages: last month one of our 4 year olds was putting condiment packages in bags, its a great way to let children give back to their community.  When you signup there'll also be food items that you can volunteer to bring.  After the lunches are assembled in the Narthex at St. Anne's 1 or 2 cars will deliver them to the shelter where staff distributes them.  We'll be doing Sandwiches for the Shelter on July 5, a wonderful opportunity to serve during Independence Day weekend.  Click here to signup.  If you have any questions contact Emily McPhie.
