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.

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

Once to take action and share fellowship

Habitat for Humanity | Wall Signing Ceremony

December 13| 9AM
North Phoenix at 8817 N. 2nd St. Lot #37114

Join Us as We Bless and Dedicate Jake’s House

Work is moving quickly on Jake’s House, our Fall 2025 Habitat for Humanity build. This past Saturday the team raised all the exterior walls, putting us in a good place to begin installing interior walls and trusses over the next few workdays. We’ve shared photos so you can see the progress taking shape.
This Saturday, December 13, we’ll gather for the wall-signing ceremony to bless and dedicate the home. The Reverend Deacon Suzie Parker will offer prayers, and everyone will have the chance to write a message on the wall studs that will remain part of the house. The ceremony will begin at 9am.
If you haven’t been to one before, these moments are powerful reminders of why we build. We can’t solve the affordable housing crisis on our own, but we can offer safe, welcoming homes for families who need them. Saint Barnabas and the Episcopal Habitat Coalition have partnered in this work since 1990, and Jake’s House marks our 85th or 86th build. All are invited to share in this milestone.

If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Jay Harris or call 480.620.8722

This service offers a space for grief and sadness during the holiday season, contemplative choral and instrumental music, and a candle-lighting ritual for personal memorials of loss. The Service of the Longest Night gives space for the meaning of Advent — our saving hope promises to come as a light that our darkest moments cannot conquer. Christ is near. We are not alone.

Taizé Service | January
2026-01-06 19:00
Epiphany Light in Taizé Prayer
As we continue celebrating the Christmas season at Saint Barnabas, we come to the Feast of Epiphany, the moment when the light of Christ is revealed to the world. Scripture tells us that a star led the Magi to Bethlehem, where they honored the Christ Child with their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
After their encounter with Jesus, the Magi returned home by another road.
Epiphany invites us to pause and ask a simple but meaningful question. Are we leaving this Christmas season changed? What has God revealed to us, and how might that shape the way we move into the new year? As a community rooted in prayer, worship, and shared life, this season invites us to listen for where God may be gently leading us next.
Monthly Taizé service at Saint Barnabas on the 1st Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. | Sanctuary
Experience the serenity of a Taizé service, a meditative gathering inspired by the renowned Taizé community in France. Join us for a liturgy infused with the songs from Taizé, accompanied by scriptures, periods of silence, and prayers. Taizé-style liturgy provides the opportunity for a tranquil and serene worship experience.

Exploring Poetry as a Spiritual Practice | January

Exploring Poetry as a Spiritual Practice
Meets on Google Meet, First Thursday of every month, 10:00 – 11:30am
Not a writing workshop, not a book club, we are a circle of poetry lovers into whose midst the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit is invited. Our format is simple: we each share a poem that speaks to us on a spiritual level, taking turns reading our selections and sharing our reflections. Energizing and uplifting conversations emerge and, more often than not, so does a sacred theme that connects our diverse offerings. For more information, or to join the next meeting, contact Mary Stone, 480-993-4507.

FAITH FORMATION | 2026

9AM ON SUNDAYS, HUTTON HALL, AND ON ZOOM
SAINTS, LIGHT, AND EVERYDAY HOLINESS.
On This Sunday:
Week 1 – Epiphany & Baptism of Our Lord (Jan 11)
Discover what it means to be God’s “beloved” and to walk as children of light in a world that often feels dark.
Join us as the church year unfolds for a six-week forum series, Saints, Light, and Everyday Holiness. Together we will explore Epiphany, the witness of St. Paul, Candlemas, Lent, the Transfiguration, and the quiet holiness found in everyday lives. Through Scripture, shared conversation, and simple spiritual practices, this series offers space to reflect, listen, and notice where God’s light is already present among us and within us.
Looking Ahead:
Week 2 – The Conversion of St. Paul (Jan 18) Explore conversion as an ongoing journey—how God meets us on the road and gently turns our hearts toward grace.
Week 3 – Candlemas: The Presentation of Our Lord (Jan 25) Pray with Simeon and Anna as we talk about faithful waiting, hope, and recognizing Christ in ordinary moments. Includes a simple candle blessing.
Week 4 – Saints, Love, and Everyday Faith (Feb. 1) Reflect on the “everyday saints” in your life and how we’re all called to practice Christ-shaped love in small, concrete ways.
Week 5 – Ashes, Mercy, and New Beginnings (Feb.8) Prepare people for Ash Wednesday/Lent as a gentle, honest season of returning to God’s mercy rather than shame.
Week 6 – Transfiguration & Glimpses of Glory (Feb 15) Reflect on “mountain-top” experiences with God and how to carry their light into ordinary and difficult seasons.

All are welcome—whether you’re new to the Episcopal Church, returning after time away, or simply curious. Each week stands on its own. Hutton Hall at 9am
