Serving the community in and around Dunbar,
East Lothian, Scotland
Welcome!
St Anne's is a charge of the Scottish Episcopal Church, part of the Anglican Communion.
On 29 November 2015, the congregation united with the Dunbar Methodist Church to form one unified presence serving Dunbar and district. We are part of the Forth Valley Methodist Circuit and regularly enjoy preachers from the circuit.
In April 2025, St Anne's entered a season of change. The previous rector, Rev Diana Hall has moved on to a new charge in Edinburgh. The Vestry appreciate prayer support while they carry out the necessary work to discern who God is calling to be the next rector of St Anne's.
Update in the October issue of The Cairn.
God of love
You have called us each into the family of faith;
in Jesus you call us to be his Body in this place.
As we are in a time of uncertainty and change,
Send your Holy Spirit to minister to us;
fill us with wisdom and compassion
that we may be true to Christ and kind to one another.
Give us vision and energy
to share your Good News with all people.
We ask that you will be preparing the person
you are calling to minister here in the future;
and in the meantime,
help us grow in faith and hope and love
as we journey on.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

Advent
invitation
to our
younger
members
Young Church will be kicking off Advent with a full church family participation service on Sunday 30th November. Anne will need lots of helpers!
And on the following three Sundays – 7th, 14th and 21st December – the fun will continue as Young Church create a fabulous big Advent calendar for us all to enjoy.
Please join in on any or all Sundays. To make sure we have materials ready, please let us know when we can expect you!
During Advent, and after
Christmas until Candlemas,
the Thursday “After
communion” group will be
using this book as the basis
of week-by-week discussions.
Anne can order copies for
anyone wishing to join in, or
indeed to use the book for
personal study. As we shall
be starting on Thursday 27th
November, please let Anne
know as soon as possible if
you would like a copy. They
are £10 each but we have
funds to provide a copy if this
is a difficulty – all requests
treated confidentially.
