“ Christianity Explored” developed over 10 years, Christianity Explored is an informal course for people who&#8217;d like to investigate Christianity, or just brush up on the basics. It explores who Jesus was, what his aims were, and what it means to follow him.<br />
You won&#8217;t be asked to pray, sing or read aloud, and you can ask any questions you like. Or, if you prefer, you can just come along and listen.   Christianity Explored has been around for over a decade now, and it&#8217;s been designed to suit different age ranges and people.  Day and time to be announced.</p>

<strong>Traditional Lenten Discipline</strong><br />
Worship &#038; Meditation: During Lent,<br />
St. Anne’s will offer added opportunities for public worship and encourage you to more<br />
frequent and fervent prayer, Bible study and<br />
private meditation on the saving love of god in Christ Jesus our Lord.<br />
<strong>Fasting and Abstinence</strong>: As an aid to devotional life, many Christians give up certain foods or activities through Lent.  Some also set aside certain days (Wednesdays and Fridays) for more rigorous fasting in the Lord’s Honor.<br />
<strong>Almsgiving:</strong> Moved by the sacrifice of Christ, Many Christians combine almsgiving with fasting, giving to the poor the money they saved by eating, drinking or buying less as they rely more upon God’s abundant grace.<br />
<strong>Might Boxes:</strong> During this season children have often filled mite Boxes to be presented during the<br />
offering on Easter Sunday. (this is not limited to the young all may participate). Boxes are available in the Parish Hall.</p>
