News - April 2013

There are so many new beginnings for St Annes to look forward to the beginning of another 100

years in its history, a new ministry and the possibility of being linked in a Twinning Agreement with an

African church in the middle of a busy city.

YOUTH DEPARTMENT

This consists of a Boys Brigade of 103 boys with 21 officers, a Girls Brigade of 100 girls with 12 officers

and a Youth Fellowship of 25 members.

There is a flourishing Sunday School of 95 children with 20 teachers.

BIBLE STUDY

There appears to be eight separate Bible Study Groups with a total of between 160 and 200 people
