Honoring Our Parish Family and Welcoming New Beginnings
Recently, we had the joy of gathering in Hutton Hall, filled with our parish community alongside others joining online. We came together to enjoy a hot lunch and to celebrate Jesus’ presence at Saint Barnabas through the lives and service of our community over the past year.
We were delighted to welcome our soon-to-be Rector, the Rev. Robyn M. Neville, who joined us briefly by video on the Hutton Hall screen to introduce herself. It was a joy to see her, and we are very much looking forward to meeting her in person and beginning to get to know her more fully.
A special word of gratitude goes to our parishioner, Kaye Jenista. At the young age of 96, Kaye is retiring after more than 30 years of faithful service on the Altar Guild. Her devotion, care, and commitment have shaped our worship life in ways both seen and unseen. We give thanks for her many years of service and for the grace and generosity she has shared with our parish.
During the gathering, we recognized the dedicated members of our Rector Search Committee, welcomed our new vestry members, and acknowledged our convention delegates and alternates. We expressed our deep appreciation for the support of all parishioners, especially the Building and Grounds Committee, and shared updates on the good health of our parish financial statements.
