It explores who Jesus was, what his aims were, and what it means to follow him.
You won’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’s been designed to suit different age ranges and people. Day and time to be announced.

There were twenty two teens and adults who worshipped played and studied.  Highlight of the event was the youth building bird houses at WCCC.  We talked about how scripture tells us that birds don’t worry and we shouldn’t either.  This event was  Sponsored by St Anne’s Episcopal Church, Immaculate Conception Roman Catholic Church, 2nd Baptist Church, 1st Congregational Church, Calais United Methodist Church, Baring Baptist , the Episcopal Diocesan Youth Ministries and Mays Funeral Home of Calais and Eastport, Maine.

“The Me I Want to Be” by John Ortberg

Thursday Mornings at 9:15— “God wants us to become a new creation.  But new doesn’t mean completely different; instead it’s like an old motorcycle that gets restored to its intended magnificence.  The good news is that as God redeems us and restores us, we become more ‘me’.  We become more that person God had in mind when He first thought you up.  God is not interested in mass-producing us, but rather handcrafting us to be his best version of ME.”

 

Christianity Explored

Wednesday evenings at 6:35ish

This is a ten-week course that introduces people to Jesus Christ.  We will explore Mark’s Gospel, addressing three questions that are at the heart of Christianity:  Who is Jesus/  Why did Jesus come?  What does it mean to follow Jesus?

Traditional Lenten Discipline
Worship & Meditation: During Lent,
St. Anne’s will offer added opportunities for public worship and encourage you to more
frequent and fervent prayer, Bible study and
private meditation on the saving love of god in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Fasting and Abstinence: 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.
Almsgiving: 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.
Might Boxes: During this season children have often filled mite Boxes to be presented during the
offering on Easter Sunday. (this is not limited to the young all may participate). Boxes are available in the Parish Hall.

After supper we had a special guest, the Bishop of Myra, St. Nicholas himself was with us for the blessing of the manger outside the church.  He stayed for awhile offering gold coins to all.  The Bishop was very busy that night so he was on his way.  Latter the story of St. Nicholas was shared with all and the young had some arts and crafts.
