EnglishWhat is St. Anne's in-the-Fields Episcopal Church?
Updated
St. Anne's in-the-Fields Episcopal Church is an Episcopal church community based in Lincoln, Massachusetts, with members drawn from Lincoln and surrounding towns such as Concord, Wayland, Sudbury, Maynard, and Acton. Its website, stanneslincoln.org, serves as the congregation's public hub for worship times, events, and community information. If you are looking for a church to visit in the Lincoln area, or want to check service times before attending, this site is the place to start.
Where the church is and who it serves
St. Anne's describes itself as a "loving, vibrant Christian community" whose members come from Lincoln, Concord, Wayland, Sudbury, Maynard, Acton, and beyond. That geographic spread matters if you are searching by town name: the church is located in Lincoln, but its congregation is regional rather than limited to one town.
Worship times and formats
The site lists two Sunday services:
| Time | Service | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 8 am | Spoken Holy Eucharist | No music mentioned |
| 10 am | Holy Eucharist with Choir | Also livestreamed |
The 10 am service is the one to note if you cannot attend in person, since it is livestreamed. The site also links to a bulletin and to information for children and families, which suggests the 10 am service is the one oriented toward families and a fuller worship experience.
What else the website covers
Beyond worship, the homepage highlights current and upcoming activities, including:
- Seasonal and community events such as an Evensong service and a movie night
- A Spring Speaker Series open to the wider community
- A recurring "Good News" feature
- A welcome message from the Rector, Garrett Yates, for newcomers
These items change over time, so the homepage is best treated as a current notice board rather than a fixed schedule.
How to use the site if you are new
- Check the worship section first to confirm the 8 am and 10 am Sunday services still match your plans.
- If you cannot attend in person, follow the livestream link for the 10 am service.
- Look for the newcomer welcome from the Rector if you want context before visiting.
- Browse "What's Happening" for events that are open to the wider community, not just members.
One practical caveat: event dates and featured posts on the page reflect whatever was current when the site was last updated, so verify a specific event before making plans around it.
