Climate Justice Ministry film, summer services at St. Anne’s

A light vegetarian supper is served at 6:30 p.m. and the film screening begins at 7 p.m. Discussion follows as time allows. Free and open to the public.

For the months of June, July, and August, the worship schedule at St. Anne’s in-the-Fields changes to one service of Holy Eucharist on Sundays at 9 a.m. The regular worship schedule of two morning services resumes in September. For more information, visit www.stanneslincoln.org.
