Commitment Weekend

As our Renewal of Treasure comes to a close this weekend, we thank all who have returned

completed 2017 Stewardship of Treasure commitment forms. If you haven’t returned your

form, it is not too late. You can place it in the offertory basket, in the box in the Commons

Area or return it to the Parish Office. Thank you for your generosity!

Gartland Award Winners

Congratulations to St. Anne Church parishioners Charles and Minnie

Hanneman who will each be receiving the Gartland Award at a special

celebration at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah this

weekend! Charles started the Knights of Columbus Lenten Fish Fries at

St. Anne Church in 2002. Over the years, he has been a part of many

parish ministries, including the Altar Society, Adoration, the Prime Timers,

Outreach, and has been an Usher. Minnie met Charles while helping with

the Knights of Columbus’ monthly breakfasts and they married in 2003.

Together, they planned and cooked monthly meals for the Friends Who

Care Ministry for seven years. Over the years, Minnie has been a member

of the Prime Timers, CCW, Sewing Circle, Ladies Auxiliary of Columbus, Good Neighbors,

Thyme & Talent, TLC, Elijah Cup, Greeters, Adoration, Rosary Group, and has volunteered in

the Notre Dame Shop. Charles and his wife, Minnie, have contributed much to St. Anne

Parish in their dedicated stewardship over the years. They are both solid in their faith and in

their commitment to the parish. They are both well deserving of the Gartland Award as a

token of our appreciation for their service.

Spotlight on Stewardship November 20, 2016 Stewardship Reflection “….giving thanks to the Father, who has made you fit

to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light.”

Colossians 1:12

God wants us to be happy! Instead of looking at the

Ten Commandments as being restrictive and telling

us what we can’t do, look at them as guides for living

a joy-filled and peaceful life. Most of our problems

arise when we put our own needs first or spend most

of our time trying to acquire “things.” Try putting God

first in all things instead. St. Anne Community Outreach

Outreach will be open this weekend, Nov. 19 & 20, to

accept donations before & after all Masses. The item

of the month is toothpaste.

Ministry Spotlight

Thyme & Talent

Are you a natural born hostess? Then we need you to

join our parish’s Thyme & Talent ministry. This group

prepares and/or serves meals or refreshments for

small parish functions. Ministry members can set up

and decorate for functions, prepare and serve the

meal, and/or clean up after the function. Members

work together in teams. The time commitment is

usually a few hours each month, depending on the

church‘s calendar. Cooking experience is an asset,

but not necessary. If you are interested, contact

Donna Tomayko at donna.tomayko@gmail.com.
