At the end of Vestry, I asked those in attendance to write a Blessing or a Hope for our Church. 
I will be sharing these here over the next few weeks. 

A blessing for St. Anne's from Vestry

Thank you for the members of this parish. Each week, I see the face of God in everyone who attends.

This Sunday, we will kick off Holy Week with our celebration of Palm Sunday.

The tradition of raising and waving palm branches comes from the ancient Near East where they would do this at the entrance to the cities to symbolize victory or welcome. So we think about welcoming Jesus here on this land and this part of Richmond, I am inviting you to bring a branch from a tree or plant from this area.

We will bless the branches that you bring and process in with them and then use them to create the display at the front of the church.

Join us tonight in person or online.
