Congratulations! St. Ann’s Episcopal Church is 80 years old!
Save the Date: Wed., Aug. 8 7-9 pm for Brainstorming our Vision, hosted
by St. Ann’s Vestry. Join us for this invigorating experience visioning who and
how we are as a church, and what is most important to us going forward. The
purpose is to brainstorm and synthesize ideas about Mission, Vision and Slogan
statements for St. Ann's. Our guest facilitator is The Rev. Jim Steen, who had
served as the diocese’s associate for congregations and administration, has
become director of ministries - under the reorganized structure at the Diocese.
Jim’s passion for congregational ministry and vision for the church of the
future are familiar to many of in the diocese of Chicago.
Apple Tree Outreach is how St. Ann’s collects school supplies for District 200
students in need. There is more information in the Parish Hall, or contact

Prayer Garden Update: Many thanks to all of you that helped get the Prayer
Garden going this spring through your contributions of plants and seeds, and
time. An additional thanks to the Green Group and Jonathon and Jordan
Loacker who gave their time (and backs) to weeding and cleaning up both the
garden and the church this weekend. We have begun to harvest squash and
peppers, with tomatoes and potatoes not too far behind.We are in search of
simple recipes that use these vegetables, especially tomatoes. These recipes
will be passed along to the individuals and families that come to the food
bank. You can give these recipes to either Bruce Armstrong or Vicky Tusken.
Cans for St. Ann’s only accepts aluminum drink cans – not metal food cans.
Cans may be donated at the enclosure located in the corner of the St. Ann’s
parking lot. Please do not double bag. If you have large metal items you want to
donate (washer, dryer, shelving, pipe, electric motors, etc.) call 815 923 0604
and Howard McCarthy will arrange to pick up your donation.
