Thank you, Pat, and St. Anne's, for such a beautiful send-off. We are so blessed to have all of your prayers and support traveling with us. We can't wait to be your loving arms in the world.
COMMISSIONING OF ST. ANNE’S BELIZE MISSION TEAM
SUNDAY, MARCH 8, 2009
As Christians, our mission is to make God known to all people. We hear this in Jesus’ words: “I give you a new commandment , that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
We celebrate you and your devotion to the work ahead of you in Belize. Through the gift of your service, you show others the love that God has for all people. This is both a privilege and a responsibility, and by standing here you are publicly affirming your commitment to this work.
Let us pray: Almighty God, look graciously upon these people whom we now commission for your service. Give them your spirit, enrich them with your grace, and strengthen them for the tasks which lie ahead. Amen.
We rejoice to recognize you as representatives of this Congregation and we thank God for your dedication and your willingness to serve. We send you to Belize with our prayers and our support, and, with you, we renew our commitment to service in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Amen.
- The Rev. Pat Markie

Packing Up
*
Over the past few weeks, items have been making their way to St. Anne's and then waiting patiently to be packed up for the children of Holy Cross. Today was Pack Up Day! Saint Anne's parishioners donated 300 + pounds of supplies that will be hand delivered to Holy Cross Anglican School. Toys, shoes, soccer balls and uniforms, books, tools, vitamins, paper, school supplies, and more, were lovingly packed into suitcases, which were also donated. Three cheers for the generous hearts of the people of St. Anne's!

Lead Us To New Awareness
As St. Anne's gets ready to send our 2009 mission team back to Belize and to Holy Cross Anglican School, please join us in prayer:
Lead us to a New Awareness
May the good Lord lead us from this place
and take us to where he is living;
May he lead us to a new awareness of the poor
and show us his home among them;
May he lead us to a new desire for justice
and give us a glimpse of the kingdom he is building;
May he fill our hearts with generosity
and anoint us to be bearers of good news;
May his blessing be upon us as it is upon the poor,
and may he show us what he wants us to do.
Amen.
