OLD LYME–Saint Ann’s Episcopal Church has announced enrichment programs to engage kids and adults throughout the summer. 

Starting this Sunday, June 29, Saint Ann’s will offer three sessions of the Godly Play curriculum for children from 3- to 12-years-old. The Montessori-based educational program uses an interactive storytelling process to explore the mystery of God’s presence in their lives, according to the church.

Godly Play classes will take place at 9:30 a.m. on June 29, July 6 and August 3. Parents are welcome to attend Saint Ann’s worship service at 9:30 a.m. while their children are in Godly Play, with children to join their parents in the service following the lesson.

For adults, the Summer Bible Study will take place on Mondays from July 7 to Aug. 25, at 5 p.m. in the Griswold Room or via Zoom. 

The focus this summer will be on the Book of Acts, which tells the stories of the faith, joys, accomplishments and struggles of the earliest followers of Jesus.

Elizabeth started her journalism career in 2013 with the launch of The Salem Connect, a community news site inspired by digital trailblazers like Olwen Logan. Elizabeth’s earliest reporting included two major fires — one at a package store and another at a log cabin where she captured, on video, a state trooper fatally shooting the unarmed homeowner and suspected arsonist. The experiences gave her a crash course in public record searches, courthouse procedures and the Freedom of Information Act. She went on to report for The Bulletin, CT News Junkie, The Rivereast, and The Day, where she covered the Lymes and helped launch the Housing Solutions Lab on affordable housing. Her work has earned numerous awards from the Connecticut Society of Professional Journalists and the New England Newspaper & Press Association. Now, after more than a decade in digital, weekly, and daily journalism, she’s grateful to return to the place where it all started: an online news site dedicated to one small corner of Connecticut.
