Our Ministry includes: Sunday School and occasional youth activities.

We hold Sunday school every other Sunday during the school year. We continue to average approximately 4-10 children each Sunday, with as high as 12 on some Sundays. We unsure we meet Safe Church guidelines. We try to have a few outings a year. Reverend Val has a Children’s Focus at the 9:15 a.m. Sunday Service.

Supporting the Youth Ministry
Supporting this ministry can be done in a variety of ways and does not necessarily mean you need to “teach” Sunday School. Curriculum supports are provided that follow the lectern schedules so that what the children are discussing is the same things the adults are considering.
Opportunities to service in this ministry are always needed. If you are interested please speak to Rev’d Val.

Youth Server’s Guild at St. Anne’s
We would love to welcome you!
Youth are invited and encouraged to join the Servers' Guild here at St. Anne's. Our servers are wonderful – they help us worship well assisting the clergy in the leadership of the service at our 8:00 (first Sunday of each month) and 9:15 a.m. services every Sunday, and on special occasions during the church year. Servers sit near the altar, presenting the holy bread, water and wine, they prepare and clear altars, carry the cross, light the candles, lead the procession, receive the offertory – we love our servers and thank them for their ministry!
Requirement:  
Youth at least 11 years old who have their First Holy Communion and been trained and apprentice for one to two months with the rector. Please contact Rev'd Val for more information or to volunteer.
