Be Our Light in the Darkness
2020-06-11 19:00
Please have a candle ready to be lit during the service in your homes.

This time of pandemic been difficult for a host of reasons. Fear of the unknown, worry for our friends, family, and loved ones in the healthcare system and who work in essential jobs, and grief over the 100,000 souls lost. We know that at other times, when things have been hard, we would gather together and grieve, pray, and find hope again, together. And so we’re going to do that–just via Zoom instead of in-person. We hope you’ll join us.
Barnabas Day

We will honor our patron saint, Barnabas, on his feast day, June 11, with a service of encouragement, support and togetherness to pray together in real time from our own homes. Recorded services can work in many situations, but this time, we just need to see each others’ faces.

ALL ARE WELCOME

The Enneagram is a tool for personal and spiritual growth. Its wisdom reveals the lens through which different personality types experience and interpret life. This deepens self-awareness, leading to compassion, understanding, and acceptance of oneself and others. The Enneagram has both religious and secular applications. Insight gained from studying it can profoundly transform lives and relationships.
This is a video series, featuring RICHARD ROHR, OFM, teaching the Enneagram from the Christian perspective. Fr. Rohr is a renowned contemporary spiritual teacher, a prolific author, and articulate speaker.

Military Prayer Project
2019-10-20 11:30 - 13:00
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20, 11:30AM | HUTTON HALL
Come one, come all to help assemble prayer packets for our military servicemen and -women! Express your thanks for the sacrifices they make and show gratitude for their service. Everyone is invited to stop in for a few minutes or the entire hour – every pair of hands helps. Adults and children are also invited to write messages of gratitude to be included in these wonderful packets. It’s an activity the whole family can enjoy! Let us know you’re coming! Please email Mary Lou Luvisa to learn more.

Did You Know…?
In 2005, Saint Barnabas received its first American flag from one of the children of our parish who had brought it to us from a war zone where he had served. Out of that meaningful moment came a ministry of service and support for our military personnel around the globe. Our book & gift shop manager, Tammy Underwood, felt inspired to reach out to these brave souls and started carrying military prayer books in the bookstore that people could buy to donate. Then she found some neck-coolers that we could purchase to donate as well. Tammy then connected us with a state-wide organization that sends monthly care packages to our troops and started taking the donated items to be included. Later, she started partnering with Tony Conyers, one of our parish artists, who made copper crosses and prayer cards to include in these care packages. To date, we’ve sent 25,000 crosses overseas! They started working with our Tuesday Morning Workshop ladies who started putting the crosses and cards together with little return note cards and envelopes. Thanks to Tammy Underwood’s vision that goes back to that very first flag 13 years ago, we have had a connection with our servicemen and -women of both prayer and encouragement that you can now see displayed around Hutton Hall in their notes back to us. And you can see and read these messages in the book and gift shop anytime! Tammy keeps all the return letters in a binder so we never forget the deep impact we are making by these simple but important actions. So we encourage you to take part in this special part of Saint Barnabas. And we give thanks that Tammy was so inspired 13 years ago that she led us all to this ministry. See you in Hutton Hall.

Bishop Consecration
2019-03-09 11:00 - 12:00
SATURDAY, MARCH 9, 11AM | CHURCH OF ALL NATIONS
Our new Bishop, The Rev. Jennifer Reddall, will be ordained and consecrated a Bishop in the one, Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church and the sixth Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona on Saturday, March 9 at Church of All Nations in Phoenix. Tickets will be required. For questions, please contact the Episcopal Diocese of Arizona.
“In this case, we have to wait for permission from the General Convention Office to be able to give out any other details. Permission will be granted after a certain number of consents are received from bishops and dioceses across The Episcopal Church.”
Did you know: all clergy are ordained for the WHOLE church—not just for a parish or a diocese. When a new bishop is elected in a diocese, the rest of The Episcopal Church must consent to that election. That means a 2/3 majority of the bishops who are already seated and a 2/3 majority of the Standing Committees (which are the elected governing bodies of a diocese made up of priests, deacons, and laity must be in agreement with the election. This assures that personal agendas are not driving the leadership of the church but that unity is prized above all so that the church can work together for our stated mission: “to restore all people to unity with God and each other in Christ” (BCP 855).
