Family advent wreath making will be Sunday, November 27th during the Adult Education Hour. This is a St. Mary Anne’s tradition that goes back more than 30 years.
Please bring clippers or pruners. Don’t forget your wreath bases, pins, and candle holders from previous years. All supplies will be provided for everyone who needs them. St. Mary Anne’s Flower committee members will be on hand to assist anyone who has not made a wreath before.
It takes a lot of greens to make a wreath! Bring 4-inch clippings of evergreens from your yard or woodland. Suggested are: boxwood, arborvitae, herbs, cedar, standing pine, Japanese holly, mountain laurel, etc. to share will all. Donations will be accepted to help with the cost. If you have questions feel free to call Nancy Ball at 410-287-5848.
The trees weren’t too eager to shed their leaves this fall, so our church clean-up was delayed. We plan to rake leaves on Saturday, November 26th. Please bring a rake and gloves, and we will provide the coffee and donuts at 8:00-10:00AM. Many hands can make this light work!
Love movies? SMA has a small movie group you can join! A potluck lunch and movie showing will be held on Tuesday, November 15th at 11:30AM, at the home of Glennda Artinger, 16 Tomax Lane, Elkton.
One of the most popular of our outreach projects is the Giving Tree, which commits to providing Christmas gifts for local children who would otherwise do without. As in years past, Linda Hunt has collected names from local schools of children whose families are in difficulty. She will hand out these names on November 20th, along with specifications to help with present selection. All gifts are to be brought to the Parish House on Sunday, December 18th; distribution to the parents will be on Tuesday, December 20th.
