Best known during his military career for his spirited defense of the small South African township of Mafeking during the Boer War, he was soon to be propelled to extraordinary fame as the Founder of Scouting. n 1912 he married Olave Soames who was his constant help and companion in all this work.

The roots of the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity go back to the 1800s; it is one of the oldest, most widely observed Ecumenical events in the world.
A worldwide fellowship seek unity, a common witness and Christian service The World Council of Churches formed in 1948, brings together 349 churches, denominations and church fellowships in more than 110 countries and territories throughout the world, representing over 560 million Christians and including most of the world's Orthodox churches, scores of Anglican, Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist and Reformed churches, as well as many United and Independent churches. While the bulk of the WCC's founding churches were European and North American, today most member churches are in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America, the Middle East and the Pacific. For its member churches, the WCC is a unique space: one in which they can reflect, speak, act, worship and work together, challenge and support each other, share and debate with each other. They are called to 1) the goal of visible unity in one faith and one eucharistic fellowship; 2) promote their common witness in work for mission and evangelism; 3) engage in Christian service by serving human need, breaking down barriers between people, seeking justice and peace, and upholding the integrity of creation; and foster renewal in unity, worship, mission and service.
The 2012 Ecumenical service for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity comes to us from Poland (picture of Palm Sunday celebrations in Lyse, Poland) where an Ecumenical group has written a liturgy that draws on the experience of Polish Christians who have lived through times of joy and adversity. The history of Poland has been marked by a series of defeats, victories, invasions, partitions and oppression by foreign powers and hostile systems. In 2012 the European Football Championship will be held in Poland and Ukraine. This would never have been possible in years gone by. As Poland prepares to host the European Football Championship in 2012, Christians in the country have put the meaning of "victory" and "defeat" at the centre of their reflections for the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity
Ash Wednesday, February 22, 2012 Service at 7:00 p.m. at St. Anne’s with imposition of ashes
Then introducing Lent series with showing at 7:30 p.m.…. on Church large screen "The Prodigal Trilogy" (half hour length)

His Inspiration was a song by Keith Green called The Prodigal Son Suite, a painting by Rembrandt entitled “The Return of the Prodigal Son” and a book inspired by the same painting, written by Henri Nouwen, also called The Return of the Prodigal Son. Other great monologues by Jason are “Life of David” and “Herod the Great” If you are inspired, we can be sure to get these or book Jason directly for a show right here at St. Anne’s for our community! Blessings, this Holy Lent!
On Nov. 27th, Rev. Canon Janet blessed dalmatics that will be worn by Rev. Ken. Rev. Ken explained to the children the differences between what vestments are worn by Deacons and those worn by priests. Priests can wear chasubles, which are like a cape, over their albs while Deacons can wear dalmatics, which have sleeves. Rev. Ken was given chasubles that belonged to Rev. Canon Bob Mills, who had been a Rector at St. Anne's in the 1960s and had them made into dalmatics.

News from the Welcoming Committee
A grateful "Thank You" to All who supported our dinners in 2011. Not only were we pleased to entertain members of the Parish, but it was also our pleasure to Welcome to St. Anne's people from the Community. These people purchased dinner tickets after seeing the announcement on the St. Anne's sign. Our dinners were SOLD OUT. Your patronage and encouragement is certainly appreciated. We were excited to give Parish Council a large portion of our financial profit, to be used where Parish Council had the need. In 2012, we look forward to something new: On Sunday, January 29, 2012, we will be serving a “Ploughman's Lunch.” Just come to the Parish Hall after the 10 a.m. Service and join us for lunch. Cost – $5.00 per person, payable at the door. Happy 2012 to All!
In Service for Christ & St. Anne's,
The Welcoming Committee

Bibles for Stamps - Canadian Bible Society
Many thousands of used postage stamps saved by St. Anne’s parishioners are given to the society to help purchase Bibles. One pound of used stamps buys one Bible. Please leave at least a ¼ inch border around each stamp.
Why Cancelled Stamps are Important
“Recently, our office received some cancelled stamps from you. Thank you so much for collecting and sending them. They really do make a difference. A pound of stamps sold enables us to purchase one bible. Our vision is to reach every person with the life-giving word of God, and to encourage its use. With some seven billion people inhabiting the earth these days that is no small vision.” (Rev. Dr. Jeff Loach, Director, Central Ontario, Canadian Bible Society)
