Mission Statement

United in Christ’s love, we are called to be His presence in the World as we worship, serve others, study the faith, and proclaim the Gospel. 

St. Anne is a Liturgical Church

This means our worship services follow a specific pattern or order. The Book of Common Prayer contains several variations of the Episcopal liturgy. It contains readings and services for special occasions such as weddings, certain times of the Christian year and specific types of regular weekly services. The Book of Common Prayer is consistent within each country, and sometimes shared among Episcopalians in countries around the world.

We follow a Christian Calendar so throughout the church year, the Episcopal worship service changes, based on the Christian season we are celebrating.   A service during Lent will be different than one during the Advent season, for example. Appropriate Bible readings make up the liturgy, based on the calendar.

Sunday worship services have a full liturgical worship experience with songs, readings, recitations, prayers and a sermon. Even so, the centerpiece of an Episcopal service is the Eucharist. Any baptized Christian, Episcopal or not, may take part in the Eucharist.
