Welcome to St. Mary Anne’s “virtual parish” – our parish website. I hope that you will find what you are looking for here, information about the Episcopal Church and St. Mary Anne’s worship and ministry.
Join us for worship services every Sunday at 8AM and 10:30AM or Wednesday mornings at 10AM. The best way to find God – faith, hope, and love – in your life is to join with other Christians in prayer worship and Christian action.
Also, take a minute to browse around the different pages you find here to see the variety of our ministries. Our Sunday Education programs for all ages take place at 9:15 a.m. in the Parish House; in addition to our worship, this is a good way to find out more about the parish.
Lent, the season of preparation for Easter, begins on Wednesday, February 22, with our Ash Wednesday services, held at 6:30 AM, 10 AM and 7 PM (with music). Join us in the time of repentance and renewal as we begin our Easter preparation. Also, Lenten Vespers will be held again this year, in addition to our regular Sunday Eucharists, at 6:30 PM, every Sunday in Lent.
Feel free to contact me (frsam@stmaryanne.org) or any member of our parish for more information about who we are and what we do. And remember – you and your family are always welcome at all of our activities.
St Mary Anne’s is a part of the Episcopal Diocese of Easton; you can find out what is going on in Diocese this month, especially as our Diocesan Convention draws near, in the “Connections” newsletter and in the February issue of the “Eastern Shore Episcopalian.”
May God bless you all in 2012.
Faithfully,
Fr. Sam
