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
