First Reading: Acts 10:34a, 37-43
Peter discusses Jesus’ life of preaching and healing. Jesus was
crucified, then he rose up and was seen by his chosen witnesses.
Peter also mentions the importance of all the disciples bearing
witness to what they saw, so that many people would believe in
Jesus, and have their sins forgiven through him.
Second Reading: Colossians 3:1-4
Paul asserts that we must pay attention to higher realms rather
than earthly concerns. Our life is not yet completely known to us,
until Christ appears and we are raised to glory in him.
Gospel: John 20:1-9
When Mary Magdalene discovered Jesus’ tomb was open, she told
Simon Peter and another disciple. They ran to the tomb and Peter
went inside. He found the burial wrappings on the ground, with the
head covering separate from the rest. The other disciple came in and
they believed what they saw, although until then they had not
understood the Scripture’s message of Jesus’ resurrection.
HAPPY EASTER
All of us here at St. Ann’s would like to wish you and
your family the joyfulness of a Blessed Easter.
May our celebration of the Resurrection nourish our
faith, increase our hope, and strengthen our love for each
other.
Happy Easter!

ENDOWMENT FUND
Our church of St. Ann has been the place where we have
seen the face of God through the ups and downs of our life’s
moments. The presence of God in our church as well as in the lives
of our people has sustained those who have gone before us here.
Now, as the parish debt is eliminated, it is important to ensure the
legacy of our faith and worship for those who would follow us here
at St. Ann’s for generations to come.
It is with the humble realization that St. Ann’s church has
a destiny designed by God to be a beacon of faith and hope in our
community, that we start the Church Endowment Fund. Any
contribution, however small or large, will be received with a
grateful heart. A donation of $1000 or more over a period of time
would give us the opportunity to memorialize or honor someone we
love in the Book of Endowment. A contributor of $25000 or more
over a period of time would be considered a Founder of our church
Endowment Fund. This fund is designed in such a way that the
principal will not be used. If and when a need arises on a rainy day,
only the interest on the Endowment Fund will be used.
May the donations we make for this purpose come from
our gratitude to God for His blessings in our life. May the good Lord
bless us and our families and keep us close to His heart as we
continue doing His work.
Founders $25000
Stewards $15000
