St. Anne’s Ladies Evening Out – Thursday, August 8 - 6:30 p.m.
 
It was so good to see all of you who were able to come out for our first dinner gathering! Thank you for making it out, we had a great turn out and such a nice time! We are hoping to continue these on the second Thursday of each month, so our next one is coming up  this Thursday, August 8th.
 
We would like to try a more centrally located venue for our gatherings. After some consulting and searching around, we’d like to try Corner 16 on Middlebrook Pike (1640 Bob Kirby Road, Knoxville, 37931).    https://corner16.com/
 
Please let me know if you’ll be coming, so that I can make a call-ahead reservation. You can RSVP on the Facebook event that I have set up (on the St. Anne Orthodox Church Fellowship Group FB page 
https://www.facebook.com/events/394370491213150/ - - or you can email me - so that I can get a head count. Thank you! I look forward to seeing you there!

Women's Book Discussion Group

The St. Anne's Women’s Book Discussion Group  will meet on Sunday, September 8 , from 4-6 pm, at Debra Mattingly's house.

Bring a snack to share if you wish and we will eat and socialize from 4 - 4:30. We will begin the book discussion promptly at 4:30 and end promptly at 6. All are welcome!

The discussion will be on   Dr. Albert Rossi’s book ,   Becoming a Healing Presence  (Ancient Faith Publishing). Come and join us for discussion (even if you haven’t read the book!)

“ In order to become a healing presence for others, we must first be healed ourselves—through an active relationship with the great Healer, Christ. Drawing on the teachings of the Fathers and saints of the Church, Dr. Rossi gently points the way toward deepening our love for God and for each other so that others may experience Christ through us.”
Coffee Hour Plan for This Sunday

Our new plan for managing Coffee Hour continues this week. This is week 2 in August, served by those  whose last names begin with E-K.  Plan to bring food and to share in the clean up. If you are not able to attend, please contact someone to fill in for you. Thank you for your generous service!

Let us break bread together!
