Special Announcement
We have wonderful news to share with you. A call has been issued for our new Rector and after a long search and discernment, that call has been accepted. Father Jeff Stevenson from St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Kansas City, MO will officially be Rector of St. Ann's as of September 1, 2020. St. Ann's Search committee and Vestry members did an outstanding job selecting Father Jeff and both committees were unanimously in favor of him over all other candidates. The search committee and Vestry were both impressed with Father Jeff's enthusiasm, liturgical style and his ideas for the future of our parish. Father Jeff's first church service will be on-line Sunday, September 6, 2020. This is a very exciting time for St. Ann's and hopefully it won’t be too long before we will all be able to welcome Father Jeff in person.

Daily Morning Prayer Rite II
Join Father Brian for Morning Prayer on Facebook! The Service Schedule is as follows:
Monday - Friday: 7:00 am As of Monday, May 10th, Morning Prayer will be hosted by the Chapel of the Holy Family's Facebook page, and held in the Chapel of the Holy Family. We realized that people were having difficulty viewing Father Brian's Facebook page, and so moved it to a page that can be viewed even by those who do not have a Facebook account (though you will have to dismiss any Facebook ads that try to encourage you to sign up). You can join us here: Daily Morning Prayer <-------Click Here Message from Fr. Hugh James, Saturday August 1stDear Members of St Ann’s,
Greetings to you. This weekend's on-line service is now available through the link on the homepage of our church's website https://www.saint-anns.org/ I have recently realised that another easy way to see this is using the You Tube App on my Smart TV. I simply go to the you Tube Channel on my TV and search for St Ann's, Sayville. This weekend the service will be led by Fr Brian, and the preacher will be Bishop Daniel Allotey, who is one of our assisting bishops on Long Island. Our on-line coffee hour will be at 11:00am on Zoom. The log in address is St. Ann's Coffee Hour: Meeting ID: 839 9280 1221. We are holding Coffee hour every Sunday at 11:00am. Do please join us for a chat and fellowship. A lot has happened in the search for a new rector, and will already have heard of Fr Jeffrey's appointment. He will be starting as Rector at the beginning of September. You will also have seen the notice of Fr Brian's new call at Valley Stream. I'm sure we are all grateful for his ministry here and we know that the church at Valley Stream will be blessed through his ministry. On a personal note I'd like to say how much I have appreciated Fr Brian's help and support as my colleague. I could not ask for a better Associate Rector. I will continue as Interim Rector until August 31st, and my last service with you will be on the weekend of August 30. However, I will be moving from Sayville on August 15 and will take vacation time during the second half of the month except for the last two Sundays.During that period, the Rectory will be prepared for Fr Jeffrey's arrival. I do not yet have a call for my next period of ministry, though I am in discussion with 2 churches in other parts of the country, and am hopeful that one of those will result in a call. The other change is that from Monday our church office will re-open for business. It will be only partially open, as the staff will be there, but we will not be allowing visitors inside the office.I haven't said much about the office over recent months, but I do want to pay tribute to our hard-working and dedicated staff. Since we closed the office in March, they have continued to work from home, making visits to Sayville as and when necessary. They have all had to learn new skills, accessing computers remotely, holding meetings on Zoom, scanning documents back and forth, find new ways of paying bills, recording music for on-line services, and so on and so forth. Through all of this Terry, Gayle, and Kathy have been dedicated and tireless in their efforts. Before I came to St Ann's, Mother Diane told me all about our highly dedicated staff, and I will always be grateful to her for leaving such a committed staff team behind her. We should value them highly and tell them that we do far more often than we actually do. There isn't a clergy person in the United States who wouldn't be envious the staff we have here. When he has been here for a few months, then I am sure that Fr Jeffrey will be saying the same thing. With my love and prayers, Fr. Hugh From the Rev'd J. Hugh A.
