Changes to this website

This Week has been moved to the central pane of this page so that there is space for all the details to be displayed; previously only a digest was shown.

The material that was on the Organisations page has been merged into the Parish page.

A new page named Churches Together has been introduced. This will carry information and news about Churches Together in St Anne's. Their events will continue to appear on the Events page, and in This Week.

Churches Together in St Anne's

The minutes of the meeting held on 4 November 2022 are available to download.

Licensed Lay Minister Elizabeth O'Connor has been supplying occasional reflections. Below is the latest, which is also available on our Downloads page, along with previous ones.

Weather

What is it about us British and the weather? We seem to be constantly talking about it, checking the latest forecasts in our area, and then complaining. It is either too hot, cold, cloudy, rainy, or, more likely in St Anne’s, too windy! The weather is rarely what we would like it to be at the time, and we love to have a good old moan. I know that I was certainly doing that last week with the heat and the lack of rain for the garden!

Even with the ever-present threat of climate change we can still appreciate the beauty and glory of God’s creation around us and be thankful – catch glimpses of the wonder of God whatever the weather. God is in the here-and-now whatever the weather.

What makes the sun to rise?
The power of God.
What makes the seed to grow?
The love of God.
What makes the wind to blow?
The Spirit of God.
Power of God protect us
Love of God lead us
Spirit of God strengthen us.
In all of life
And all creation.
David Adam

Lord of life,
your life embraces me on every side;
I open my arms to greet you.
God, grant me a clearer vision
of the many-splendored thing'
your presence in and through all things
that I may be one with your mind of love.
Richard Harries
