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 Presents
DECODA in a Free
Community Concert
We are proud to host Decoda in a free concert on Sunday, Nov 23, at 2:00 pm.
In this concert Decoda, an affiliate ensemble of Carnegie Hall, will explore music for flute and strings, spanning from Mozart to vibrant contemporary reimaginings that include a fiddle-inspired duo by Decoda’s own George Meyer, bassist, and the radiant Maombi Asante, “Prayer of Thanks,” by flutist-composer Valerie Coleman. They will also present new compositions developed during Decoda’s just-completed residency at shoreline schools.
This concert is presented by Musical Masterworks as part of their Community Engagement Program. This program, entering its fourth year, brings meaningful musical experiences to schools, organizations supporting neurologically diverse students and adults, and to correctional facilities. The momentum this program has gained since its inception strengthens Musical Masterworks’ commitment to music as a force for connection, empowerment and transformation.
All are invited to this concert—no reservations or tickets are required. The concert will be followed by a light reception to meet the musicians and community neighbors.
Preparing for Giving Tree Season
​
The Outreach Committee is already organizing for our work during the holiday season. Before the Giving Tree goes up on Thanksgiving weekend to support families and children, we're hoping to collect items for a different population at the New London Homeless Hospitality Center.
They are in need of men's belts, small umbrellas, reading glasses, plastic file organizers, note size spiral bound pads, and backpacks.
You can leave your donations in the labeled basket in the Griswold Room.
Thank you!!​
