STEWARDSHIP ENVELOPES
Church envelopes for the new fiscal year which begins next Sunday are available in the back of church before and after Mass. Please pick up your envelopes today and begin to use them on July 4th and regularly throughout the year. This will assure an accurate record of your tithes for tax purposes. Thank you for your continued support of St. Ann’2 mission and ministries!
DON’T FORGET
“Reconnecting Our Church Families” continues. If you have not received a letter and form, they are available on the usher’s table. On the bottom of the letter indicate if you’d like a call or if you want to fill out the form yourself. Then tear off the bottom and give it to Sharon Johnson Stewart who will also answer any questions you may have. If you choose to fill out the form yourself, complete and return it TODAY. Telephone calls began on Monday June 14th and will continue until all active and inactive members are contacted. Thank you for responding to our reconnecting efforts.
YOUNG ADULTS
If you are a young adult (18 or older) still living at home, or now on your own, please remember to fill out a “Reconnecting Our Family” form for yourself. Be sure to include current cell phone numbers and email addresses. And let us know if there are other young adults we should be contacting.
NAMES & FACES
As we look forward to celebrating St. Ann’s Feast Day and Novena at the end of July, we want to be sure we know, by name, all our St. Ann’s sisters and brothers. To help us with this goal we ask you to sign and wear a name tag each Sunday during the month of July. They will be available outside the church as you arrive each week!
