Service Project Men's Discipleship Group - Oct 18 (CANCELLED)
2025-10-18 08:30 - 11:00
Oct 18 | Service Project 1 – Cancelled
Due to conflicts with the usage of space within our parish grounds, this event has been cancelled.
Join us at 8am for the Thursday Night Men’s Discipleship Group Service Project. Let’s connect and start building a community of fellowship and faith growth.
The Saint Barnabas Men’s Group is a welcoming space for men to grow in faith, build friendships, and deepen our connection with the parish community. Our goal is to foster a strong network of men (21 and older) who support one another in areas of shared interest—such as work-life balance, career development, and lifelong learning—while also encouraging one another’s spiritual growth for the sake of ourselves, our families, and the people who enrich our lives.
All men age 21 and older are invited—whether you’re a parishioner, a friend, a neighbor, a co-worker, or a relative. We value the energy, wisdom, talents, and experiences each person brings. You don’t have to be a member of Saint Barnabas to join us. Everyone is welcome.
CLICK HERE TO CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE
Join the group! Email Charlie Stanton at this link to be signed up!
Intentional discipleship through thought, word, and deed.
This group is designed by imperfect men for imperfect men who are committed to fostering their growth and the growth of the community. They will use Jesus’ blueprint for discipleship, as laid out in Matthew 5-7, to take purposeful action and engage in spiritual contemplation.
We meet thrice monthly:

Twice to study and share fellowship

Fellowship, group Learning, self-reflection, small group sessions
Meet on Thursdays at Saint Barnabas (~1.5 hours)

Once to take action and share fellowship

Service projects for the church and parishioners in need
Meet on one Saturday of each month (~1-2 hours)

Music & Children’s Choirs
At Saint Barnabas, we believe that children of all ages can engage in musical education that leads to a lifelong love of music making. Starting at age 3, we offer quality music classes and performance opportunities that allow children to learn the fundamentals of musicianship. Our approach is gently faith-based and we welcome your children to join this enriching program. All Wednesday night classes begin with playground time from 5-5:25pm, with classes from 5:30-6:30pm.

Music Makers (Ages 3-5)
Children’s Center Music Room
Designed for children to have fun while developing a love for music, Music Makers is for preschool children. We use developmentally appropriate games and musical activities while learning engaging songs about life and faith. Although not a performance group, we do encourage our students to try singing in front of a group of friends and family for Children’s Chapel one Sunday per semester.

Children’s Choirs (Grades K-8)
Children’s Choirs at Saint Barnabas perform regularly throughout the school year—usually once a month on Sundays. Both choirs engage in elements of solfege, harmony singing, note reading, and sight singing. All members are assigned a red robe for singing in church.
Andante (Grades K-2)
Music Center
Andante Choir provides an excellent introduction to choral singing and performance. Students engage in warm-ups and music education weekly while preparing to sing in Sunday church services and other events.
Allegro (Grades 3-8)
Sanctuary Choir Loft
Singing increasingly challenging music, Allegro Choir gives upper elementary students an opportunity to serve as leaders in the music program.

Meditative Prayer Service and Adult Appetizers
This is an opportunity for parents, caregivers, and any other adults who feel called to join us to get together mid-week for renewal and community engagement. It is also a chance for your children to join in the Wednesday program while you pray and visit with other adults.
5:15-5:30: The chapel will be open for “decompression” from the day and for meditation. We’d ask that socializing happen outdoors or after worship.
5:30: A quiet prayer service with time for reflection. Rev. Jennifer and Rev. Robert will pull material for reflection from a number of different sources.
6:00: Social time in The Other Cup with each other. We will not curate the conversation. It’s simply going to be a time to be together.
6:30: We’ll join the children in Hutton Hall for a kid-friendly dinner.
We are not designing anything that would require you to be at worship or at the social hour every week. Our goal is that this time together will be restorative and encouraging.
Infants and toddlers will be cared for by our regular Saint Barnabas nursery staff in the Children’s Center Purple Room. We encourage all children ages 3+ to try out the music program. But if music does not appeal to your child, we have a Meditation and Movement class at the same time.

Meditation and Movement
After playground time wraps up, kids ages 5+ are invited to participate in our program that centers on three different elements:
Meditation – Through various forms of meditation and contemplation, we invite your young people to think deeply about God and life including guided meditations, labyrinths, breath work, and more.

Movement – Other forms of meditation include movement and connection with the body. Yoga and tai chi are examples of this. Participants will be encouraged to meditate through movement during each class.

Making – If time allows, participants with engage in creative expression, also known as “making.” Legos, collage, and coloring will be a few of the options.
We are committed to providing a safe space for growth and creativity for ages 5-12 years during this Wednesday night hour from 5:30-6:30pm.

Toothbrushes and toothpaste – for both adults and children, helping improve dental health
Eyeglasses – your used glasses and sunglasses can help provide needed sight improvement and can be fitted to the individual in need
Hats – we in Arizona sure do understand the need to be protected from the sun and this is also a great need in Mexico!
Shoes – imagine walking without shoes in the summer heat!

NEW REQUEST: T-shirts (all sizes, youth and adult)

Mindful Eating as a Lenten Practice at Saint Barnabas: Zoom Only
Instead of giving up candy, especially loved foods, or drink, mindful eating can be a positive Lenten practice, grounding us in the presence of God.
As Christians, we believe that we meet God, the source of Love, in the Now.
Mindfulness involves paying attention in the present moment without judgment and with self-compassion. A practice of mindful eating can increase our sense of the divine indwelling throughout our day. It can also help us access the inner wisdom of our bodies that we frequently do not hear or heed.
These sessions are designed for you to experience mindful eating. We will meet on Zoom at 6 p.m., starting with an embodied mindfulness meditation that includes prayer. Then, we will savor an individually prepared supper and briefly discuss what we noticed during this tasting. Guidelines for mindful eating will be shared.
Sessions will run from 6 pm to 7:15 pm for five Fridays in Lent: March 21, March 28 and April 4.
Another goal of this program is to start healing our often-troubled relationship with food and our bodies. However, these sessions are not designed for those with a diagnosed eating disorder or for those currently committed to a weight loss regimen.

The facilitator, Rosemarie Oliver, is a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist who has worked in the field of nutritional practice since 1978.
