Welcome to Saint Ann's Episcopal Parish
Welcome to Saint Ann’s Old Lyme, an Episcopal Church in Connecticut on the coasts of the Connecticut River and Long Island Sound. We have been a welcoming community on the shoreline since 1883.
​
We invite you to come and see us at Saint Ann’s Sundays as we share the love of God in Jesus Christ. Join us during the week for community events, educational programs and fellowship opportunities. Learn about our commitment to addressing poverty, homelessness, refugee resettlement, food insecurity and climate change.
Be with us in person and virtually in discovering God’s abundance and joy.
The Rev’d Dr. Anita Louise Schell, Rector
Saint Ann's

The Season of Creation, September 1 through October 4
The Season of Creation is a time for Christians to come together in prayer and action for the healing of Creation. It is celebrated throughout the world not only by Protestant denominations but also in the Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Communions, where it originated.
​
Sign up for New Daily Devotions for the 2025 Season of Creation - delivered to you by email.
​
Why these Devotions? Most of us know very little about the great web of life that surrounds us. The purpose of these daily devotions is to open our eyes to some of the “created ones” with whom we share common ground, to awaken our hearts to their needs, and to take new steps toward living together in peace.
​
Each day of the Season of Creation (September 1 - October 4) participants will receive an email which highlights a different species in our Province 1 Ecosystems. Each email will include a photo, a brief description of the species for the day, a few thoughts on how the species reflects our image of God, and a closing prayer.

Sample Daily Devotion: Sept 1: North American Beaver
Sign-up link: HERE
​​
We suggest that you begin each Devotion by taking time to gaze at the image with a gentle heart, and as you move through the description which follows, we hope you will delight in learning more.
