Snowman winner

The "Name the Snowman" competition at the Christmas Market was won by Mrs Joy Welch. The snowman's name is Sneeuwpop. We raised £25 from this competition. Many thanks to all who took part.

£3.50 a week – what will it get you?

For £3.50, you can buy a sandwich from Marks and Spencer's
For £3.50, you can buy a pint of beer
For £3.50, you can buy a tabloid newspaper each day in the week.
 
Not much really, is it?

Did you know that if everyone who comes to St Anne's gave an extra £3.50 a week to the church (and that this was also gift aided), we would effectively eliminate our current deficit and be able to balance the books, as well as ensuring that we can continue paying our parish share in full.
 
Can I urge you to consider making this relatively small step? If everyone at St Anne's did so, it would make a huge difference.
 
Also, if you currently give in cash via the envelope system, have you ever thought about giving directly to the church by monthly standing order? It is easy to set up and maintain and makes life a lot easier as well for the treasurer. Standing order forms are available at the back of the church.

Week commencing November 20th

Church Recording

The National Association of Decorative & Fine Arts Society (NADFAS) is a body which does sterling work in recording details of our heritage, particularly our churches.

Over the last three years this exercise has been  carried out at St. Anne's by Carol Westcott and her team of ladies including Sue Caukwell.  There are another 252 churches throughout the country which are having their valuables catalogued and recorded.

This exercise is not just a stock-take since much historical research emerges in the process.  The church property is looked at under eight headings: i) memorials ii) stonework iii) metalwork iv) woodwork v) textiles vi) painting vii) library viii) windows + miscellaneous.

The result of this massive study of St. Anne's will be presented to the church by NADFAS at the 10am Communion Service on Sunday, 24th July (St. Anne's Day).  Other copies will be sent to national institutions. Please support this special occasion.

Church Funds Update

At the recent Annual Parochial Church Meeting the church annual accounts were presented.
Due to rising Parish Share (our contribution to the diocese for ministry and support), and despite an increase in giving by the congregation, the church is currently running a deficit of £21,000 a year.

Maintenance on the church buildings later this year will take most of what remains of the legacy fund which has supported the church in recent years.
Please pray for those trying to manage the finances in these difficult times.  Please also reflect on your own giving. If you have not already joined the Planned Giving scheme, could you do so? A regular income lets us plan for the future.

And if you are a taxpayer please Gift Aid any donations as we can reclaim 25p in the £ on what you give - at no extra cost to you.
 
Do speak to the Churchwardens, Treasurer or Stewardship Secretary (Gordon, Yvonne, Michael or June) if you have any questions.

Taizé Service Palm Sunday, 17th April
6.30pm Church Centre

A service of Taizé chants, with readings and times of silence, to prepare us for Holy Week.

The Taizé community is an ecumenical monastic order, founded in 1940, by Brother Roger, in the village of Taizé, central France. The ethos of the community, now numbering about 100 monks from Catholic and Protestant traditions, is a strong devotion to peace and justice, through prayer and meditation. Each year, tens of thousands of people make the journey to Taizé to experience the worship of the community at first-hand.  Taizé worship is characterised by the singing of distinctive and repeated prayer chants. These highlight simple phrases, usually lines from the Psalms or other Scripture. They are sung in many languages, but we will use mainly English.  The visual focus of the service will be an icon and there will be votive candles. The early Taizé music was composed by Jacques Berthier, more recent music by Joseph Gelineau.

If you have not experienced Taizé worship before, why not join us and see what it's like. If you would like any more information, please ask me.                Margaret Phillips


The Psalm for the Day

Following discussions between myself and the Director of Music, Margaret Phillips, I have decided that we will make the following changes to our services of Holy Communion, with regards to the Psalm. As from Sunday 27th March, we will no longer be singing the Psalm. Instead, where possible, the Gradual Hymn (ie, the hymn sung immediately before the Gospel reading) will be a hymn that is either based on the Psalm for the day or reflects the theme of the Psalm.

Can I stress that this only affects services of Holy Communion and that the present practice of singing the Psalm will remain for services of Mattins.

Thank you        David



Don’t Forget – Clocks ...

Help us rock!

We are a Christian singer and bassist from St Johns Church, Woking, who are looking to form a rock band with other local Christians of roughly similar age to us (we're 23 and 25). There isn't really anyone else in our church who would be interested so we thought we would contact other local churches to see if anyone was! Ideally, we are looking for a guitarist, a guitar/keyboard player and a drummer - however, Mike (the bassist) also plays guitar, so if a bassist or keyboard player is really interested we don't have to be set on that.

Our musical influences include bands like Paramore, Evanescence, Muse and Nightwish. Do you know of any musicians in your church who might be interested in this? If there is anyone, we'd be grateful if you could ask them to email us at the_turnip@hotmail.com so we can chat about it a bit more. Mike & Laura
