Join the Walk to Emmaus This Fall!


We would like to invite all Parishioners of St. Anne's to join the many before who have participated in the Walk to Emmaus in Hong Kong.  

Like its predecessor, Cursillo de Christiandad ("short course in Christianity"), the Walk to Emmaus is a three-day experience, which takes a New Testament look at Christianity as a lifestyle. It is a highly structured weekend designed to strengthen and renew the faith of Christian people, and through them: their families, congregations, and the world in which they live. Emmaus is a combined effort of laity and clergy towards the renewal of the Church.

The next Walks will take place at the Tao Fong Shan Christian Center in Shatin.

The Men's Walk #73 will take place from Thursday evening, October 26 to Sunday afternoon, October 29

The Women's Walk #74 will take place from Thursday evening, November 2 to Sunday afternoon, November 5

For more information, please contact:

WHAT HAPPENS AT EMMAUS?
At Emmaus you will spend three busy but very enjoyable days at a retreat center. You will live and study together in singing, prayer, worship, and discussion. Discussion centers around fifteen talks given by laity and clergy. These talks present the theme of God's grace, and how that grace comes alive in the Christian community and expresses itself in the world. You'll also discover how grace is real in your life, and how you can live in the life of grace, bringing grace to others. You will have the opportunity to participate in the daily celebration of Holy Communion and to begin to understand more fully the presence of Christ in his body of believers. You will experience God's grace personally through the prayers and acts of service of a living support community.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER EMMAUS?
Your Walk lasts only 72 hours, but you are invited to build on it for the rest of your life. Those who attend a Walk to Emmaus are encouraged to do two things following their Walk:
1. Expand their own spiritual lives through study and congregational participation.
2. Become more active disciples of Christ in the world through their churches.
The focus of Emmaus is God as known in Jesus Christ, and how a relationship with Him finds expression in the local church. The objective of Emmaus is to inspire, challenge, and equip local church members for Christian action in their homes, churches, and places of work.

AN ECUMENICAL EXPERIENCE
In Hong Kong the Walk to Emmaus community includes people from more than 160 Christian churches, of many different denominations, who come together in fellowship to deepen their relationship with Christ and with each other. There is so much more that unites us than divides.

October Music Schedule and Line-Up

Dear music ministry members,

The schedule and line-up for October are attached. Thanks to Jam for the music selections.
Besides singing, there are other ways to help the music ministry. We have some new choir books and we need a volunteer (volunteers) to protect them with book covers before we put them out into the cabinet.

Also, we need help in selecting the music to sing. Currently it is Jam and I who select the music. If you'd like to help do this (once every three months), please let me know. I can point you to resources to help with the selection and also provide you with samples of what we have done in past years.

Please also spread the word for friends and parishioners to join us in the music ministry. All musicians/singers and all ages, are welcome. We especially have a need for an additional keyboard player to play once in a while as a substitute.

Peace, Peggie

Sanctuary Renovations

St. Anne's has formed a sanctuary renovations committee to work with architects and the English- and Chinese-speaking Parish Councils to develop plans for the renovation of the sanctuary of the church, which is now in some disrepair.

Following are drawings that have been prepared by the architectural firm of Oval Partnership that describe a proposed renovation.
