The Work of the Commission

Coffee Hour: These weekly gatherings after church services provide
an opportunity for parishioners to visit with each other, as well as to
welcome newcomers into our community. Early Coffee Hour, after the
8:30am service, takes place in the kitchen; late Coffee Hour, after the
10:30am service, is presented in Flint Fellowship Hall. Volunteer
parishioners are scheduled to host Coffee Hour once or twice a year
from September to June. If you are interested in hosting a Coffee Hour
or have questions, contact Lise Brown.

Christmas Pageant: On the Fourth Sunday of Advent in the early
evening, St. Anne's puts on its Children's Christmas Pageant. Recently,
The Bethlehem Inn, was presented. Parishioners were invited into the
Inn, and dinner was served during intermission.

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper: On Shrove Tuesday, the night
before the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday, the men of St. Anne's
put on a pancake supper for the parish. Mardi Gras crafts and music are
offered. All are invited to join in this celebration.

Annual Meeting Potluck Supper: A wonderful mid-winter gathering
for our parish, this potluck supper follows immediately after the Annual
Meeting, which usually takes place the last Sunday in February.

Parish Picnic: This celebration of the coming of summer is usually held
the last Sunday in May, after the 10:30am service. Hamburgers and
hot dogs, as well as potluck salads and desserts, are served; everyone
is invited to relax and enjoy the season which catching up with old friends
— and meeting new ones — before people begin to disperse for the
summer. Children's activities are provided.

The Commission is always looking for new ideas and people interested
in turning those ideas into reality. Please contact Lise Brown, Vestry
Representative of the commission, if you have suggestions, ideas,
questions, or interest in working with us
