CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
NOTE: Sunday School starts at 10:45, so there is no need to leave the service before it is over.
The Sunday School NEEDS Your Help
We are looking for volunteers to teach in the Sunday School for the 2008-2009 school year. In
particular, we are looking for teachers and assistants for Pre-K/Kindergarten Godly Play. There will
be in-house training for this class for all those interested. We are also looking for teachers for the
1st/2nd grade class which will begin using the Share the Joy curriculum next year. We really need
your help. We would like to have as many teachers available next year as possible so that we can
offer more flexibility to our volunteers and provide the support the Sunday School needs to
accommodate growth. Please, if you would like to volunteer or you think you might be interested
and need more information, do not hesitate to contact Dawn Campbell at 410-672-7565 or email

move about as needed. A children’s liturgy is held during the 9:30 service as well. It is targeted

We are pleased to announce that three wonderful people have come forward to act as
coordinators for St. Anne's participation in the Habitat for Humanity program. They are Alan

about when St. Anne's will be assisting in the construction of homes for the needy by Arundel
Habitat.

Members of St. Anne’s cook and serve the evening meal the first Thursday of every month at the
Light House Shelter. Maggie and Vollie Melson along with Katie and Tom Creeley cooked and
served a jambalaya dinner complete with cornbread, salad and, of course, dessert for the guests at
the Light House Shelter on Thursday, April 4. Mary Dierdorff will organize the dinner on May 1 with

GENERAL INFORMATION
Parish Office Hours
The parish house and parish offices are located at 199 Duke of Gloucester Street. The office hours
are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you find the front door locked during these
hours, please ring the doorbell/intercom button to the left of the door. A staff member will then be
able to release the door to let you in.
St. Anne’s Website — The Next Generation
St. Anne’s is in the midst of a complete overhaul of its website. The new site will incorporate more
graphics, an easier way to navigate the site, and more information you can use about the church. It
will have easy-to-use online forms, so that we can sign people up for youth events or create an
“online visitor card” where people can tell us about themselves when they visit our website. It will
have a photo gallery where photos of our parish life will be published. It will have a calendar
function, tools to present online video, and much more. We’re excited about this new project, and
appreciate your patience during this period of transition.
St. Anne’s Picture Books
Do you have your picture album of our members yet? If not, they are available to our members at
the Parish Office during the week. All Active members are entitled to one copy per family. Call or
email Ginny Hustvedt at the parish office (410-267-9333, or ghustvedt@stannes-annapolis.org) to
get your copy, or just stop by the office between 8AM and 4PM to pick one up.

a try. You’ll be glad you did!
Communications Are Here to Support Your Ministry!
Are you running a program or event at St. Anne's? Do you need help getting the word out to the
Parish or the Community at-large? Communications are here to help. Contact August Deimel
(adeimel@stannes-annapolis.org) to discuss how!
Support St. Anne's Through Your IRA Account
The Pension Protection Act of 2006 gives those at least age 70 1/2 with traditional or Roth IRAs the
opportunity to make tax-free gifts directly to qualified charities like St. Anne's Church. Donors may
find it wise to make gifts from IRA funds that would be subject to tax if withdrawn voluntarily or
under mandatory withdrawal requirements. Transactions must be made before the end of
December. For more information, consult your financial or tax advisor and ask about making
contributions through the Charitable IRA option.

PARISH NURSE NEWS
Blood Pressure Sunday is Today
There will be a station at the church following both services for blood pressures, as well as a
station at the parish house following the 9:30 service.
Health Tip: Cancer
In my brief 3 months as your Parish Nurse, I have been struck by the number of parishioners who
are being evaluated or treated for cancer. As a cancer survivor myself, I can relate to how daunting
and frightening the process can be. The American Cancer Society suggests the following steps to
take when you have been diagnosed with Cancer.
1. Research as many options for treatment as you can find. Learn expected benefits, side effects.,
risks and trade-offs.
2. Make sure your sources of information are reliable. One to consider is www.cancer.gov.
3. Realize that all cancer treatment comes with some degree of uncertainty but being as
informed as you can may result in a better outcome.
Our Parish Nurse, Cindy Steele, can be reached at csteele@stannes-annapolis.org, or 443-534-4684.
If you have questions about what a parish nurse does, or would like to arrange a visit, please give
her a call.
