We will be starting a Sacred Ground Dialogue Study Group in February. Sacred Ground is a film- and readings-based dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups walk through chapters of America’s history of race and racism, while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. It focuses on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian American histories as they intersect with European American histories. Please check it out online at https://episcopalchurch.org/sacred-ground. If you are interested or have questions please contact Janice Flood jmflood45@gmail.com.

We still have a small supply of hard copies. Please contact the Parish office if you would like to have one of these copies.
Thank you!

Larry Gibeck constructed a wooden stable to accompany the Nativity set.Thanks to your generosity, and the skills of Amanda and Larry, the raffle raised $588.00! Proceeds from the raffle were given to St. Mary Anne’s String Studio, to help local school children with lessons and musical instruments.
Young Adult Gathering
The Young Adult Gathering is reading Everybody Always: Becoming Love in a World of Setbacks and Difficult People by Bob Goff. The next meeting is, Monday, Jan 25th, 7-8 PM.
Our meeting time is still a work in progress so it may change based on participant availability. We will discuss chapter 4 & 5. If you have questions, contact Janice Flood jmflood45@gmail.com.
A summary of the book: What happens when we stop avoiding difficult people and simply love everyone? In his wildly entertaining and inspiring follow-up to the New York Times bestselling phenomenon Love Does, Bob Goff takes readers on a life-altering journey into the secret of living without fear, care, constraint, or worry. The path toward the outsized, unfettered, liberated existence we all long for is found in a truth as simple to say as it is hard to do: love people, even the difficult ones, without distinction and without limits. Driven by Bob’s trademark hilarious and insightful storytelling, Everybody, Always reveals the lessons Bob learned – often the hard way – about what it means to love without inhibition, insecurity, or restriction. From finding the right friends to discovering the upside of failure, Everybody, Always points the way to embodying love by doing the unexpected, the intimidating, the seemingly impossible. Everybody, Always reveals how we can do the same.
Annual Meeting Details
Our restrictions on gathering (less than 50% capacity) impact our Annual Meeting and require us to be innovative this year. To achieve the required quorum numbers to vote for the mission budget, convention delegates, and the vestry election, we plan a combination Zoom meeting and in-person meeting in our Parish Center.We need every adult parishioner to participate either online (by downloading Zoom) or by meeting in the Parish Center on Saturday, January 30 at 11AM.
Our bylaws dictate a quorum, or we must reschedule the meeting. So, please help us by participating that day.
We will attach electronic copies of the Annual Report closer to the meeting date. If you need to download Zoom, or have questions on the process, we are here to help. Call 410-287-5522.
