Join us for December’s Memory Cafe! We will have snacks, conversation, and a holiday sing-a-long.
Memory Cafés are friendly gatherings designed for people experiencing changes in memory or thinking, along with those who support them. These Cafés offer a chance to enjoy time together, connect with others who understand, and explore fun activities in a relaxed setting.
Who Can Join?

Individuals living with memory changes or dementia

Family members, friends, and professional caregivers

Memory Cafés emphasize community, not medical conditions. Participants choose whether to discuss memory changes, and no diagnosis is required to attend.

Advent Prayers with prayer beads
2025-12-23 18:00 - 19:00
Gather with St. Anne’s each week during the Advent season for a peaceful time of guided prayer using Anglican prayer beads. This reflective practice helps participants slow down, breathe, and center themselves on the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love as we prepare for the coming of Christ.
Whether you are familiar with prayer beads or trying them for the first time, each session offers a simple structure, gentle guidance, and space for quiet reflection. Participants will pray through a seasonal set of Advent prayers, explore meaningful bead patterns, and discover how this ancient spiritual tool can deepen personal devotion.
All are welcome—beginners, long-time practitioners, and those seeking a calm, contemplative rhythm during the Advent season. Prayer beads are provided, and you are invited to bring your own if you prefer. If you’re unable to join us in person, prayers will be provided online.

Christmas Eve Service
2025-12-24 17:30 - 19:00
Join St. Anne’s for a beautiful Christmas Eve service as we gather to celebrate the birth of Christ with Scripture, prayer, and timeless Christmas carols. This joyful and reverent service invites individuals and families to experience the light, hope, and promise at the heart of the Nativity story.
The liturgy includes a traditional reading of the Christmas Gospel, uplifting music, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere for all ages. Whether this is your first Christmas Eve at St. Anne’s or a beloved annual tradition, the service offers a meaningful way to enter the holy night and celebrate the coming of Emmanuel—God with us.
All are invited to share in this sacred time of worship, reflection, and community as we welcome Christmas together.
