Labyrinth Walk for Peace Day

Walking the Labyrinth
Remember, Release, Receive, and Return.
REMEMBER. At the Threshold of the Labyrinth Take time to offer gratitude. You are invited to count your blessings and be thankful for people who support you and places that nourish you. You may choose to focus on a prayer or intention. If there’s a specific situation challenging you, bring it to mind and form a healing question if possible.
RELEASE. Entering the Labyrinth. This is the time to quiet the mind, let go of the mental chatter, and release your burdens. Open your heart to feel whatever it might feel. You may want to connect with your breath or your footsteps. Relax and move at your own pace. If you meet someone on the path, do what feels natural. You may move ahead of others and they may pass you by. Follow your intuition and experience your experience.
RECEIVE. Pausing in the Center This is a place of reflection. Pause and stay for as long as you like. Open yourself to your higher power. Listen to that still, small inner voice. In the safety of the labyrinth have a heart-to-heart talk with yourself and your God.
RETURN. Outward through the Labyrinth. When you are ready, retrace your steps. On the return journey, the integration of your experience happens. You may feel a sense of well-being, healing, excitement, calm, or peace. You may also reclaim, restore, and renew some aspect of your life.
Each labyrinth experience is different. You may remember, release, receive, and return anywhere on the labyrinth, in any order. You may not notice anything or have an insightful, transformative journey. Whatever occurs, listen to your heart and take your time. See what happens on a different day or at another location. The above description is only a small sketch. You provide the bigger picture.

A Guide for Beginners
Our lives are a sacred journey. We are not always sure where we are going. There is beauty and grace. There is grief, sorrow, and trouble.
The labyrinth is a way to tap into some voices that come from deep within. Not that we are going to figure everything out – but that we give ourselves time to ponder. There is no one correct way to walk the labyrinth.
You start at the entrance and follow the path to its center. Go at your own pace – it’s ok to pass others and do what feels natural when you meet someone on the path. There are many ways to explore the labyrinth journey.
Once in the center, take some time to see where you are along the path of life. Maybe the Spirit of God will deeply touch you, but you must give yourself a bit of time to listen.
After you have listened, make your way back the same way you came in. The labyrinth is a reminder that though we may be in different places in our lives, we walk a shared path.

Faith & Force: How Christians Think About War
ADULT FAITH FORMATION FORUM IN HUTTON HALL
When the world feels unstable, questions about war, violence, and national action come closer to home. Christians have never all agreed on these questions—but over time, the Church has developed a shared vocabulary for thinking about them faithfully. This five-week series explores how the Church has approached war and violence, from Scripture and the early Church to the just war tradition and the realities nations face today. Whether you are new to these questions or have wrestled with them for years, this series offers a space for thoughtful reflection, honest conversation, and deeper formation.

Saint Barnabas Arts Camp 2026
2026-06-08 08:30 - 2026-06-26 12:00
ALL WEEKS NOW FULL | WAIT LIST FULL
Contact Sarah Imai

Saint Barnabas Arts Camp is an opportunity for kids ages 3 through those entering 6th grade to explore the world of fine arts and creativity with Saint Barnabas where all are welcome. Gently faith-based, this one-week camp is filled with fun and engaging activities focusing on the creative process. The theme for 2026 is Our Nature. We can all learn a lot from nature, especially patience. Watching a seed grow into a flower or a tree teaches them that good things take time. Observing animals in their natural rhythm shows that not everything moves fast, and that waiting and watching quietly can lead to discovery. Nature encourages kids to slow down, pay attention, and respect the pace of life—lessons that build patience, curiosity, and a sense of wonder. Each camper will experience visual and performing arts as well as culinary arts every morning.
AGE GROUPS
Preschool Camp is a self-contained group with their own camp director and attentive staff and volunteers. Preschool campers are 3 and 4 year olds and must be potty trained. We encourage preschool campers to sign up for the morning only.
Campers entering kindergarten and beyond in fall 2026 participate in the main camp, which includes a daily lesson and small groups engaging in workshops related to culinary arts, visual arts and crafts, and performing arts such as drama, singing, and dance.
Junior Counselors (grades 7-10) need to submit an application and complete a Zoom interview. Junior Counselors (JCs) will participate in a training program prior to camp. JC applications are now closed. Contact Sarah Imai with questions.
EXTENDED DAY
Saint Barnabas is excited to announce that, after the morning Arts Camp, Future Athletes AZ will be running the extended day program for campers! Your child will have an amazing time staying active with fun group games like capture the flag, dodgeball, and other engaging activities. For quieter moments, Future Athletes staff will also offer a variety of board games and small group games to keep everyone entertained. Future Athletes’ program is designed to ensure kids has a blast in a safe, structured environment with plenty of opportunities to make new friends and enjoy their afternoon.
Looking for something fun in July? Future Athletes also run an exciting sports camp that your child can join. For more information and to secure your spot for July, visit FutureAthletesAZ.com.

Scholarship Sunday 2026
2026-06-14 10:15
Our Saint Barnabas community has always been committed to nurturing future leaders and young members of our church, and one way we actively support young individuals’ aspirations is through our scholarship aid program. This initiative aims to empower deserving candidates by providing them with the financial means to pursue higher education and unlock their potential.
Join us on Sunday, June 14, when we congratulate our youth members:

Scholarship Recipients

Evan Vance
Graduated from Valley Lutheran High School and is attending Clemson University in South Carolina. He is interested in business, economics, and finance. Has been a member of Saint Barnabas his whole life. Loves youth group because it gives him an outlet to grow in his faith and be around kids his own age. He is looking forward to college because he is excited to spread his wings and become more independent. He is excited to spread God’s love through interactions with people and to become acquainted with the Clemson community!

Rachel Williams
Graduated from Horizon High School and is attending Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. She will be studying Exercise Physiology. She has been a member of Saint Barnabas for five years and has been involved in many areas of our community. Faith has been a constant rock for her, helping her share and talk about her faith with others. She is looking forward to college so she can pursue an education that will eventually lead her to a career that helps people!

We will have a reception in the Music Center after the 10:15 service, so you can meet and greet our scholarship recipients.

Each student is receiving a total of $4,250.00.

Jeff Underwood Scholarship ($1,000.00)
Jeff loved serving as an acolyte, being part of Sunday school, and participating in other youth events and activities. Sadly, Jeff died of
cancer on January 30, 2003. Before he died, Jeff let his parents know that he would like them to encourage and honor youth at Saint Barnabas. In loving memory of their son and out of admiration and respect for the young people at Saint Barnabas, Jeff’s parents, Tammy and Jon, have established this scholarship fund to recognize and honor the young people of Saint Barnabas who, like Jeff, loved being part of this community.

Episcopal Church Women Scholarship ($1000.00)
A group of faithful church women who meet weekly mornings for fellowship and service opportunities. They love their church, each other, and for over 30 years have provided college scholarships for our Saint Barnabas Youth.

Kelly O’Connor Swanson Scholarship ($1000.00)

Kelly loved and valued education and died at the young age of 50 in 2014. In her memory, a college scholarship will be given to our Saint Barnabas youth on behalf of her mother, Helen Swanson.

David Muniz Scholarship ($1000.00)

Anil Coehl is honoring his late husband and hopes this scholarship will bless the recipient as they pursue this next chapter of education. David was a voice teacher and had a passion for education. He loved musical theater. David believed that every student should have the help to pursue their dreams and to use their funds wisely.

Saint Barnabas Men’s Group ($250.00)

Saint Barnabas Men’s Bible Study has been a part of the Saint Barnabas community for over 40 years. We meet every Friday morning at 7:30 in the Other Cup for an hour of Bible study, fellowship, and donuts. We have provided funds for many programs in our community, including local food banks, Angel Tree, Bridging Arizona, and others. The members of the Saint Barnabas Men’s Bible Study are honored to be awarding this scholarship to each of you outstanding young students. They are on the cusp of new frontiers that were not possible during our college years. We know that you are up to the challenge and that your Saint Barnabas family has been a big part of your journey. This scholarship is our way to acknowledge your contributions to our community. God bless you and thank you for your dedication to our community.

We will recognize our scholarship recipients and donors at the 10:15am service and honor their participation in our Saint Barnabas church community, as well as their dedication to education and serving others.

Arts Camp Sunday & Camp Updates!
Join us on Sunday, June 28 at the 10:15am service for Arts Camp Sunday — a joyful celebration of the creativity and spirit that filled our halls during Saint Barnabas Arts Camp 2026
All campers will be invited to share the treasures they discovered on their journey through music, drama, art, and more. Our service will feature a special performance of our original camp song, sung by both our adult choir and our campers — a true cross-generational crew!

Our Daily Activities | Week 3
Monday Kick-off!
🌲✨ Patience was the theme of the day at Arts Camp!
In Art, campers began creating their very own “Patience Pouches.” Our older campers learned basic sewing skills, while younger campers selected fabrics and decorated with colorful felt. As they continue working on their pouches throughout the week, they’re discovering an important lesson: good things take time, and patience and perseverance lead to something meaningful they can be proud of. 🧵👜🎭🎶 During the Performance Workshop, campers explored either Music or Drama. Drama students brought statues to life through imaginative play, while Music students learned our camp song about patience in the forest, along with a fun campfire-style repeat-after-me song. 🍫👩‍🍳 And in Culinary Workshop, a camp favorite, campers made delicious mud balls! They chose their ingredients, mixed them together, and rolled them into tasty treats that were as fun to make as they were to eat. What a wonderful day of creativity, learning, and patience!

Middle of the week:
🌟 Another wonderful day at Saint Barnabas Arts Camp! 🌟 On Tuesday, our campers continued exploring the virtue of patience—especially learning to be patient with themselves as they tried new things and grew in confidence. 💚 In Culinary, campers practiced new chopping skills while preparing fresh fruits and vegetables. 🔪 In Art, creativity and perseverance were on display as they worked on their patience pouches and learned the basics of sewing. 🧵 In Drama, laughter filled the room with woodland-themed games and activities—they didn’t want to “leaf”! 🍃😄 In Music, campers kept the woodland theme going as they learned about rhythm through the fun and energetic Moose Song. 🎵 From creativity to teamwork to discovering new talents, it was another fun-filled day of learning, growth, and adventure! ✨

Wrapping Up an Incredible Camp Season
🌲✨️⭐️- Thursday at Saint Barnabas Arts Camp was yet another fabulous and fun-filled day!
Today, the campers delved deep into what it means to be patient with the unknown, and what to do while you wait.
🪡⭐️- In Art, Campers continued to perfect their “Patience Pouches,” and even got the
opportunity to use a sewing machine! Even though sewing can be tricky, each and every one of the campers used patience to persevere.
🎵⭐️- In Music, kids once again sang the song “Rad Ranger Roy” (a very catchy tune), while
partnering up to double the fun! Campers also kept on learning about rhythm by using drums
and tambourines! It truly was a symphony of music and fun.
🎭⭐️- Meanwhile, in Drama, campers played fun nature-themed games together, strengthening
friendships and bolstering imagination. The immersive Drama Room is truly a wonder to behold!
🍌⭐️- Campers got to cook up a delectable and tasty treat in Culinary: Banana Pancakes!
Campers definitely went “bananas” for these flapjacks, and learned how to cook a perfect pancake.
Once again, the day was filled to the brim with joy and excitement. Although the week is coming to an end, there’s plenty more fun to be had!

The Image as Text: Faith, Semiotics, and Visual Language in Christian Art History
2026-07-09 17:00
Online Summer Series with the Rector
Thursdays, July 9, 16, and 23 at 5pm | Meets online
This July, join the Rev. Robyn for her first online “Summer Series with the Rector,” a three-part exploration of Christian art, symbolism, and visual storytelling. Titled The Image as Text: Faith, Semiotics, and Visual Language in Christian Art History, this engaging series invites participants to discover how works of art have communicated theological positions, biblical narratives, and spiritual meaning across the centuries.
From the earliest Christian icons and mosaics to medieval manuscripts, Renaissance masterpieces, and contemporary sacred art, Christians have used visual imagery to express faith in powerful and enduring ways. This course will examine how images function as a form of language, exploring the symbols, signs, and visual conventions that artists have employed to teach, inspire, and shape religious understanding. Together, participants will learn how to “read” Christian art more deeply, uncovering layers of meaning that often go unnoticed.
Whether you are an art enthusiast, a student of theology, or simply curious about the rich visual heritage of the Christian tradition, this series offers an accessible and thought-provoking opportunity for learning and discussion. No prior knowledge of art history is required.
Please note that regular Sunday Adult Faith Formation in Hutton Hall will be on hiatus during June and July. Instead of meeting in person, Adult Faith Formation will take place through this special online summer offering.
Because the course is presented via Zoom, you can participate from wherever you are. Save the dates and join us on Thursdays, July 9, July 16, and July 23 at 5pm throughout July.
Online Information
For information about joining on the day and time of each session, look for the online login credentials in our e-newsletter or call the parish office (480) 948-5560
We look forward to learning together as we explore the ways Christian art speaks, teaches, and bears witness to the faith through the language of images.
