A Note About Our Worship

Pastor Debra and Congregation Share the Peace of ChristThe Holy Eucharist is the principal act of Christian worship on the Lord's Day and other major Feasts.  In all services, the entire Christian assembly participates in such a way that the members of each order within the Church, lay persons and priest, fulfill key roles in our worship.Lay Participation in Worship

Because of our shared ministry with St. Mary's Episcopal Church in Stone Harbor, approximately one Sunday per month, The Rev. John Sosnowski, Rector at St. Mary's presides at the Sunday liturgy at St. Barnabas while our vicar presides at the liturgy at St. Mary's.  We are grateful for this shared ministry and partnership.
