Memory Eternal! John Morin

John Morin, St. Anne's oldest parishioner at age 98, fell asleep this morning in Oak Ridge. The last details of his funeral are still in planning, but we anticipate that the service will be on Friday morning.

May his rest be in Paradise and his memory be eternal!
Liturgy and Mysticism: The Experience of God in Orthodoxy

There was a great turnout for Fr. Daniel's class (in the Narthex after Liturgy) that is reading and discussing Archbishop Alexander's essay on Mysticism and Liturgy in the Orthodox Church. The conversation began by looking back to the revelation of God to Israel on Mt. Sinai.

This week, participants should read Archbishop Alexander's discussions of Sinai as preparation.

Please join us! Even if you have not had time to read the Archbishop's essay, you will enjoy the class. Our discussions will focus on the Biblical roots and dimensions of our liturgical and spiritual life. I am sure that there will be something for everyone! 

If you have any questions email Fr Daniel (  frdanielgreeson@gmail.com )


Fr. Stephen Is Turning 65!

Come celebrate with a birthday, bonfire, and bluegrass party. We will have live music, a warm fire, good food, fun games, and great friends.

Please bring a dish to share (See sign up sheet link below). BYOB. Kid Friendly.

UPDATE: Due to the death of one of Fr. Stephen's dear friends, we are moving the birthday party from the previously announced time to Sunday evening at 5:00 pm.

We apologize if this prevents anyone from attending.

Sunday, November 11, at 5:00 pm at James and Anna's house: 109 Viola in Oak Ridge



Many Thanks!

Thanksgiving at the Mattinglys

To our St. Anne's Family:

The Mattinglys are hosting a Thanksgiving Potluck Meal at their home in Oak Ridge again this year.

Anyone who does not have other plans for spending the day with family and friends is invited, or you may bring your family and friends to share this meal with our St. Anne family. Folks are welcome to start arriving any time after the morning Divine Liturgy -- probably 11:30 or so -- and can watch TV, fellowship, cook or warm up items at our house. Appetizers will be available when you arrive;  prayer and meal will begin at 2 pm .
There will be football on the TV before, during, and after the dinner is served. We do not require an RSVP, but if you know for sure you will be coming, that will help us know how many tables or chairs we need to borrow from St. Anne. In the last two years we've had 35-50 folks. Children are very welcome. Bring whatever you think should always be at "your" Thanksgiving meal. Turkey will be provided.

Use the  Perfect potluck sign-up sheet  to let others know what you will be bringing (helpful but optional).

Have a Blessed Nativity Fast and wonderful Thanksgiving!
The Mattinglys
