One of our yearly outreach projects is the Giving Tree , which commits to providing Christmas gifts for local children who would otherwise do without.

We forge ahead withWe welcome the return of our popular Lenten Soup Suppers and will finally watch and discuss “The Grace of Les Misérables” the video discussion series we canceled at the start of the pandemic in 2020.
The author brings us to the intersection of Church and Pop Culture by drawing parallels between the iconic story and musical and our Christian calling, inspiring us to both understand our faith and live it out in the world.
We plan 4 Lenten Suppers of soup, salad, bread and dessert in the Parish Hall.
Please sign-up after services this Sunday or RSVP to the church office at office@stmaryanne.org or 410-287-5522. Please let us know if you can make a pot of delicious soup, salad or dessert for the evening study.
Come join us on Wednesday, March 9, 23, 30 and April 6 from 6-7:30PM. There’s no homework!
Truly, who among us doesn’t need prayer?
Sadly, we know of many parishioners and family members who suffer from critical or chronic illness, depression, anxiety, grief or loss.
We believe in the power of prayer to bring healing, comfort, hope, and/or relief because Jesus the Great Comforter and Healer said in Matthew 18:20,”For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” During this Advent season, let’s gather more than “two or three” and pray for those who are in need of healing, hope, and comfort.
Join Father John and the Pastoral Care Team for an Advent Evening Prayer Service on Thursday, December 16 at 6:30PM in the church.
Please attend this special service of healing, health and hope, and invite others to join us too, for truly, who among us doesn’t need prayer?
As we eagerly await the birth of the Christ child, we are reminded that this is the season of giving.
With this in mind, we will participate in a “Women Helping Women” initiative. We contacted a local women’s shelter to see how we can help their clients. They would appreciate our help this Christmas season, since many of these women are in need of support.
So, at our annual ECW Christmas Soup Dinner, we ask you to donate a new robe (any size) and/or a pair of slippers. A warm robe and slippers may bring a woman some comfort during a difficult time.
Please bring this comfort gift to the ECW Christmas Soup Dinner on December 1 at 6:00PM in the Parish Hall.
