Why not join us for refreshments after the service? Tea, coffee, squash and biscuits are available after the service towards the front of church on the left. Please do feel free to come and help yourself at our self service tables. 

Plastic Bottle Tops - Myton Hospice are no longer collecting these. Thank you to all those who have been collecting them but we no longer need them to be bought to Church. 

Serving each other in church. It is great that we are able to depend on each other as so many people help out in so many different ways in church. Sometimes it isn't possible to make it when we are on a rota, but please do remember to try to arrange someone to cover if you aren't able to help in the way that was planned, and please do check your rota regularly. 

Thank you to all who give money regularly to this church using the envelope scheme. Might now be a good time, however, for you to consider setting up a Standing Order instead? This is very convenient, both for you and for the DCC, and can be done weekly or monthly. If you choose this, our bank details are; Account name: St Anne & All Saints DCC, Sort code: 309354, Account number: 00160571. 

REMINDER:  THINK - PRAY - VOTE
