Depending On Jesus

As believers know we have to depend on Jesus for many
things: for salvation, for guidance, for forgiveness, for daily
needs. But to depend on Christ for everything? Excluding
nothing? It's a scary—but also a profoundly biblical—idea.
 

In this ten-session LifeGuide® Bible Study, you'll explore
instances of biblical people learning that they could rely on
Christ to see them through, even when all other avenues of
help failed. They encountered every kind of obstacle:
hostility, loneliness, injustice, failure, and other seemingly
impossible difficulties. Just as they discovered that Christ is
sufficient for any and all circumstances, you will be
encouraged to discover the same.

For over three decades LifeGuide Bible Studies have provided solid biblical content and raised thought-provoking questions—making for a one-of-a-kind Bible study experience for individuals and groups. This series has more than 130 titles on Old and New Testament books, character studies, and topical studies.

In order to conduct our programs and maintain our facilities, St. Ann's Episcopal Church conducts an annual stewardship campaign in order to meet our budget needs.  Another source of support are the gifts parishioners and friends leave the church when their life on earth comes to an end. They have been thoughtful in preparing their estate plans and wills to include St. Anns.  Many capital projects have been funded over the years by these types of gifts.

The leadership of St. Ann's would like to make our friends and parishioners aware of this giving opportunity.
