Father's Day Brunch, June 26th following Divine Services
We have moved the Fathers Day Brunch from June 19th to June 26th after Liturgy. We will be having a breakfast casserole, fruit, and an iced coffee station. We'll need help with set up of tables the night before, prep, serving and clean up. If you are able to help, please sign-up via Signup Genius
To donate towards the cost of the meal, you can contribute to the benevolence account with an earmark for Fathers' Day Brunch. We will also have a basket available on Sunday to donate toward the cost of the Lunch-in.
If you have any questions please let me know. Thank you ahead of time for all your help and donations.

Stewardship Report (Spring 22)
Hard to believe that we are in the third year of the pandemic. We have all experienced ups and downs during this time. But one constant remains: that is our faithful and loving stewards who have embraced their stewardship, knowing what it means to give from the heart. Thanks be to God for all His blessings.
Our budget for the year 2022 is $450,000. As of April 2022 we are $38,134 ahead. To date we have been blessed to receive from our Stewards $188,134. What does this mean? It means we can continue to help those in need, to fund our ministries, but most of all to give back to God for all He bestows on us. It truly is a privilege to give back to God through our thriving, welcoming and loving Parish of St. Anna’s.
Stewardship is much more than just finances. It includes time and talent. God calls us to be generous in all areas of our life. There are many opportunities through St. Anna’s to share our time and talent. We have a very successful prayer shawl ministry. We have acolytes each and every service serving the altar. Our services are now broadcasted for those who are unable to attend services. We provide meals to those in need. We have bell ringers, calling the faithful to service. We have those who step up for candle duty, sandbox cleaning, sweeping the Church, and the list goes on. Our Stewards take it upon themselves to assist in so many different areas.
In closing I would be remiss if I didn’t thank all of you for giving from your hearts. And of course, welcome to our new Stewards. It is in giving that we become closer to God and show Him how thankful for all He continues to bestow on each and everyone of us.
