Acts Bible Study

Do you ever feel powerless?  The people of the early church discovered what true power looks like. Jesus transformed their lives—and they changed the world!

Acts is the extraordinary record of what these early Christian disciples did. The power that you see in action in this book is the same power that can transform your life. As Phyllis J. Le Peau leads you through the second half of Acts in this twelve-session LifeGuide Bible Study, you will begin to understand what the Holy Spirit can do in you and in the world.

This study meets on Thursdays at 6 pm in-person and virtually by clicking here.

In order to conduct our programs and maintain our facilities, St. Ann's Episcopal Church conducts an annual stewardship campaign in order to meet our budget needs.  Another source of support are the gifts parishioners and friends leave the church when their life on earth comes to an end. They have been thoughtful in preparing their estate plans and wills to include St. Anns.  Many capital projects have been funded over the years by these types of gifts.

The leadership of St. Ann's would like to make our friends and parishioners aware of this giving opportunity.   

Ways to Make a Planned Gift

• Bequests & Wills/Living Trusts
• Charitable Gift Annuities
• Charitable Remainder Trusts
• Pooled Income Fund
• Life Insurance & Retirement Accounts
• Real Estate, Appreciated Property, & Tangible Personal Property

More information about these different options has been provided by the Episcopal Church Foundation.

Please contact Fr. Neal through the parish office if you are interested in making a bequest or estate gift.
