Music News

Please join us this Sunday, September 5 after the 10 a.m. worship for a festive reception to celebrate Anthony Navarra's music ministry with us.  We give thanks for the 2 years of ministry he has shared with us!

Preparations are already underway for a search for a new Music Director (the job description can be viewed by clicking here). It is our goal to have a new director in place no later than Christ the King Sunday, November 21st

In September and October we will be served by two supply musicians: Helen Vile and Shana Grassi. Following is the choir rehearsal for this interim time. Please note, anyone who is interested in singing is welcome to join the choir - simply attend the rehearsal and plan to sing on Sunday!

Prayers for Healing

At 10 AM on most Thursdays a Eucharist is held in the small chapel at St. Barnabas. During the service, we offer prayers for all who seek healing for themselves or on behalf of another person. We gather at this service for restoration of wholeness and holiness of health and relationships. The service, like all Eucharistic celebrations, focuses on the shared meal that points to our restoration in Christ. All are welcome. Call the church office at 886-5960 to see if a Healing Service is being offered this week.
