Hang a Branch

by

We encourage you to put a green branch on the front door of your house or window this Palm Sunday, April 5th!
It doesn’t need to be a palm–any green branch will do. This symbol will help connect us as we enter the holiest of weeks.
We may be physically isolated, but not separated. We are united as the members of the body of Christ. We are the Church.

Announcing: St. Mary Anne’s YouTube Channel!

by

Q. I’ve heard about YouTube–can you please tell me more?
A. It’s a video sharing service where we can watch, like, share, comment and upload our own videos. We can watch these videos on home computers, tablets and via smart phones.
Q. Why did you create a St. Mary Anne’s Episcopal Church YouTube Channel?
A. So you won’t miss worship services during this time of social distancing. This Holy Week, Father John will record and post videos of our Palm Sunday Service, Monday Evening Prayer, Wednesday Vespers, Good Friday Service, and our Easter Morning Service on our new YouTube channel. He already posted a few Morning Prayer services on the channel, and also a 2018 Christmas Eve performance by Joel and Alex.
Q. So what do I have to do?
A. It’s easy! Just click here, and it will bring you to the channel. Hit the red “subscribe” button so the channel will be listed as one of your favorites. Then, click on the videos you want to watch. If you can, “like” the video by clicking on the “thumbs up” icon. You can also post comments.
Q. How will I know when you post a new video?
A. We will send you an announcement and a link when we post a new video!
Q. Does the video go away after you watch it?
A. No. You can watch it multiple times, and we encourage you to share the link with others.
Q. How many 314 year old church parishes have their own YouTube Channel?
A. We suspect, not too many!

Worship from Home

by

Dear Parishioners,
We announced the other day, that due to the Coronovirus pandemic, we will not hold worship services for the next two weeks (March 15 & 22) , and all church meetings and activities are canceled for the month of March. We will closely monitor the situation and inform you of schedule changes.
Below are some resources to help with worship at home; some specific requests; and schedule updates. I will send out a separate pastoral message later today. Thank you for your attention.
Blessings,
Fr. John
Please Worship from Home
To help you with worship during this time:
  • During daylight hours, Fr. John will open the church everyday for individual prayer and reflection. Please use social distancing from other parishioners who may be present.
  • Our Book of Common Prayer offers an online version; here you can access Morning Prayer, Noonday Prayer, Evening Prayer and Compline.
  • The Lectionary Page offers daily readings
  • The Mission of St. Clare is an ecumenical website offering Morning and Evening Prayer using the order set out in The Book of Common Prayer. This is a wonderful resource with music too!
  • Join in the virtual service online at the Washington National Cathedral with Presiding Bishop Michael Curry on Sunday at 11:15AM.
