NEWS

BINGO next WEDNESDAY. St. Anselm’s will host bingo next WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5th at 2pm at Whispering Pines. Join your friends at Canterbury around 1:30pm to carpool or meet at the nursing home at 1:45. This is the principal outreach ministry of our community and we could use your help. It’s fun and it brings joy to the residents of Whispering Pines and to volunteer participants as well.

ADVISORY BOARD MET. The Advisory Board of St. Anselm’s held its spring semester meeting Sunday, April 25, immediately following the Eucharist. Numerous members of the community were also present. After oral reports from staff, a review of the inclusive language rite utilized during Epiphany was had. As a result of the discussion on liturgy, St. Anselm will begin to make seasonal use of not only an inclusive language rite, but also a Rite one liturgy. Plans to enhance our relationship with Whispering Pines with a Bible study were discussed and to provide more opportunities for members of St. Anselm’s to exercise service to the larger community. Plans for a proposed expansion of the St. Anselm’s building were discussed. The plans are just now in the sketch stage and a substantial effort will need to be made to raise funding for any approved expansion.

DEAD WEEK LUNCHES THIS WEEK. St. Anselm’s staff will host dead week lunches from 11am-1pm every day this week. Take some time out of your study schedule to enjoy a healthy lunch and some light conversation with your friends at Canterbury. The lunches are free. Bring a friend and introduce them to our community.

ST. ANSELM WORSHIPS YEAR-ROUND. DON’T BE A STRANGER THIS SUMMER. Even as classes are winding down, St. Anselm’s continues to plan for worship and renovation projects this summer.
