Respect the Dignity of All: Kids Engaging in Racial Equity
2020-09-13 08:30 - 2020-11-22 09:15
Fall Family Formation Program
Sundays at 8:30am via Zoom | September 13-November 22
Registration Required
Beginning Sunday, September 13, our Episcopal Diocese of Arizona will offer a weekly formation program focusing on storytelling and themes of racial equality, specifically designed for elementary and middle-school-aged children (grades K-7) and their caregivers. This is a pivotal time for all of us—including, and perhaps especially, children— to listen to the stories of people of color and engage in a discussion of what it means to “respect the dignity of every human being” (a quote from the Book of Common Prayer, p. 305). We will engage in the program via a weekly Zoom session hosted by Ms. Sarah and our Sunday School teachers on Sundays at 8:30am, during which kids (and their parents, if so desired) will interact with games, discussions, and the occasional craft. The video lesson will be adapted from the Diocesan program.
Please Contact Sarah Petersen for questions and zoom login information.

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.

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.
