RECTOR’S REFLECTIONS
Living Generously – July 24, 2016
A couple of weeks ago, I gathered together with some of the leadership of Saint Barnabas for dinner. As we broke bread, we discussed the many ways we live generously as faithful disciples of Jesus. There were many meaningful stories and powerful experiences shared, and we want to invite all of Saint Barnabas to experience these conversations with your parish friends and family.
This is a continuation of what we began last year as we highlighted the theme of generosity in our life at Saint Barnabas. Even as we encourage one another in prayer and worship and relationship with God, even as we seek to grow in service and kindness and patience, and in welcome and hospitality and invitation, so too, we realized, are we called to encourage one another in gratitude and thankfulness and generosity.
We are engaging this theme of “Living Generously” with Collaborative Feasts (also known as potlucks!) in the homes of some of our members and everyone is invited: members, newcomers, and friends of the parish alike. Many dates and times are available so that everyone can attend. Registration begins on August 7. Details to follow!
These dinners will be fun and a great opportunity to make new friends. Please join us!
In Peace,
The Rev. Jim Clark
