Dear People of St. Anne’s,
Grace and peace to you in the name of Jesus Christ.
For Sunday, we plan to offer two concurrent worship options at 8:00 am, serving both those who can safely attend in person and those who need or prefer to remain at home.
At 8:00 am, we will celebrate the Holy Eucharist in person at the church.
At the same time, Morning Prayer will be offered over Zoom for those worshiping remotely.

Later in the morning, a pre-recorded service featuring Music and Sermon will be available online at 10:00 am via our YouTube channel, allowing households to worship prayerfully at home with reverence, beauty, and continuity. Watch from the website or go to YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/user/StAnnesAnnapolis .
As winter conditions persist, I invite you to exercise wisdom and discernment in deciding whether to travel. Roads, sidewalks, and walkways may remain imperfect, and there is no lack of faith in choosing caution, care, and prudence. Out of pastoral concern for safety, the 5:30 pm Sunday service is cancelled.
The Adult Forum is also cancelled. You can view the biographies of the Vestry and Diocesan Delegate candidates online HERE. St. Anne’s Annual Meeting is scheduled for Sunday, February 1st at 11:45 a.m. in the Parish Hall.
During the coming week, our in-person parish schedule will follow Anne Arundel County Public Schools, and staff will work remotely while monitoring email, ensuring continuity of pastoral and administrative care.
If you know parishioners or friends who rarely read email or Facebook, I would be grateful if you would share this information with them by text or phone, so no one is left uncertain about worship plans.
Please hold one another, our parish staff, and all who must navigate winter conditions in your prayers. Whether gathered in the nave, joining from a living room, or praying quietly at home, we remain one Body in Christ—formed by Word, Sacrament, Music, and shared hope.
Faithfully yours in Christ,
Manoj+
The Rev. Manoj Mathew Zacharia, Ph.D., Rector
