The 3rd Tuesday is Lectio Divina and Centering Prayer led by Lynn Thonnard. We meet from 10 am to 11:15 am at St. Philip’s Episcopal Church at 730 Bestgate Road in Annapolis.

Foyer Fellowship Groups
The Foyer Fellowship is a great way to promote community among all parishioners--newcomers and long-standing members alike--in small-group settings. We assign groups of 6-8 people who typically take turns hosting a monthly communal meal, although the details of each gathering are flexible and up to the group. The goal is to facilitate an informal exchange of ideas, experiences, and questions regarding parish life and other areas of interest. For more information, contact Katy Jensen.
Rainbow Group
This ministry welcomes the fellowship and inclusion of LGBTQ+ individuals, their families and allies into parish life and worship at St. Anne’s. We are an active witness to the community outreach and Christian values of St. Anne’s. Organized in 2018, the Rainbow Group continues to receive strong support from all of St. Anne’s clergy, staff, and parishioners, to serve the many LGBTQ+ individuals and families of the Parish.
Suburb Theology
All are welcome to join Suburb Theology, a monthly gathering at a local restaurant for lively conversation on a range of theological topics. Join us. Bring your sense of curiosity, humility, and humor. For the readings and the settings, write to Lawrence Devadason at lawrence495@hotmail.com.
Reconciliation Ministry
St. Anne’s Reconciliation Ministry is part of our parish’s Journey to Becoming Beloved Community. A fundamental calling for the Diocese of Maryland who, “acknowledge that there can be no love without justice, and there can be no justice without some form of repairing an injustice.” Our commitment is grounded in Gospel as we seek to do the transformative work of healing and justice.
Women’s Ministry & Bible Study
Women’s Bible Study is a source of scriptural learning, and provides a community of support, encouragement, and prayer. For more information, contact Judy Guy.
Emmaus
Emmaus seeks to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for listening, responding, and resting in the Spirit. We hope the Emmaus gatherings and programs will hearten prayerful awareness of the sacred and Holy in our every day lives. Emmaus is an open and growing community and welcomes all. For more information, contact: Lori Marchant or Heather Strang.
Men’s Bible Study
The Men’s Bible Study is St. Anne’s longest running lay ministry. Dedicated to studying the Bible and the work of Christian theologians. Knowledge of the Bible is not a prerequisite. Encouraged is an open mind and heart, and a suspicion that paying closer attention to how scripture can model your life will put you in a better place. For more information, please email Wayne Adamson or Bob Sherer 410-266-1334.
New Member & Fellowship
The New Member & Fellowship Ministry at St. Anne’s is dedicated to strengthening our parish community through new member events and parish gatherings that foster fellowship throughout the year.
We especially welcome those who feel called to help new attendees and members connect with others in the parish—building relationships based on shared interests, faith, and community life.
If you have a passion for welcoming others, we’d love to have you involved!
