Two workshops coming this fall. Sign up now!
 
Stephen Ministry Workshop
Saturday, September 18, 9:00am–1:00pm 

Would you like to learn more about ministering to others in grief or distress? How can
Christians who are not therapists or counselors care for others in a distinctively Christian way?
Founded in 1975, St. Louis-based Stephen Ministry is a nationally recognized leader in training
non-ordained Christians in pastoral care skills. Join us and others from area churches in Flint
Hall for an introduction to Stephen Ministry and an opportunity to deepen your own pastoral
skills. Registration is open to all. We are expecting a significant turnout on September 18 as this
is one of the few New England workshops Stephen Ministries is offering this fall.
     To register, please email Wendy Lawson at or look for the
sign-up sheet at church. Admission is free for St. Anne's parishioners.
 
Share/Save/Spend: A Family Workshop with Nathan Dungan
Saturday, October 30, 9:00am–1:00pm

Top-performing financial advisor Nathan Dungan is the author of Prodigal Sons and Material
Girls: How Not to be
Your Child’s ATM (a copy is in St. Anne's Library). He is also an expert on
family finances and the effect of mass marketing on young people’s evolving spending habits.
In this workshop, designed for the whole family, Nathan will outline how consumer trends are
distorting young people’s views of the value of money, and also offer creative examples of how
to leverage his highly successful “Share-Save-Spend” approach to money management. Among
other topics, he’ll offer guidance on talking about money, on understanding the difference between
“wants” and “needs,” and on the increasing the probability of  children having a healthy financial
life.
     Reserve a space for this session by emailing the Rev. Patrick Ward,
A suggested contribution of $15 (individual) or $40 (family) will be collected the morning of the
workshop. Learn more about Nathan at www.sharesavespend.com

Rosie's Place
3rd Friday of the month

For the last 25+ years, St. Anne's has been serving dinner/lunch on the 3rd Friday of every
month. Lunch is served on the odd months and dinner on the even months. We have a list
of 35 parishioners, some permanent and some that are call-up, that volunteer food on a
monthly basis and we are always searching for new volunteers.

Pine Street Inn
4th Thursday of the month

Join the group of volunteers from St. Anne's for our monthly trip to serve the evening meal at
the Pine Street Inn. There is no cooking or clean-up, just greeting the guests and serving the
meal. We carpool from St. Anne's, leaving at 4:00pm sharp, and are back in Lincoln by 7:00pm.

LOVE'S HARVEST                                                                                  
The Rev. Kate Malin and parishioner John Kania joined three others on a two-week mission trip
to Malawi in Southeast Africa. They worked on behalf of Love's Harvest, a non-profit partner of
Episcopal Relief & Development dedicated to helping the rural poor of Malawi grow on their own
land. While there, they visited Karonga Village, site of St. Anne's Mothers' Day Garden.
