Churches are among the few places in our society w

Churches are among the few places in our society where members of many generations gather together in intentional and sustained relationships. When we make the effort to make the church’s life open to all, wonderful things happen. Children and adults learn the story of our faith in ways that match their developmental stage. We learn to listen to the stories and the experiences of lives lived in times very different from our own. We find others who have much to teach us. In listening to those stories, we also learn that we are not alone in the difficulties we face. Intergenerational communities are how we also learn what matters–not simply in what is told to us, but by how we spend our time in the service of others.⁠
⁠
One example of how intergenerational community enriches the lives of a family are the Silvernails. The Silvernail family has been attending Saint Barnabas for about 5 years. All members of the family–Eric, wife, Celeste, Ava (16) and Henry (13)–have been enthusiastic participants in many of the missions and ministries of Saint Barnabas, both as a family unit and individually. (Even the family dog, Satchmo, attends the annual Blessing of the Animals!)⁠
⁠
Eric remembers being in the Saint Barnabas Sanctuary for Christmas services when he was just 5 or 6 years old. Although he didn’t grow up particularly involved in the church, his wife Celeste was raised Catholic; the Silvernails eventually made the Episcopal church their family home, enjoying the familiarity of the liturgy and the Anglican tradition. Celeste has been a leading local organizer of Angel Tree, the nationwide gift drive program bringing Christmas gifts to children and families in need as an expression of the love of Christ.⁠

Do you know about our missions partner Operation S

Do you know about our missions partner Operation School Bell? It is the largest of the six philanthropic programs from The Assistance League of Phoenix. Thousands of children in Phoenix do not have adequate school clothing. Working with the staff at Title 1 schools, and with the help of our donors and supporters, once a month we visit to help these children receive supplies they need. ⁠
⁠
Come to our Missions & Ministries Festival THIS Sunday to get a chance to meet the leaders of our many missions and ministries and learn more about what they do and how you can get involved. LUNCH will be provided with homemade fry bread, healthy tacos and salads at our Build-Your-Own Taco Bar, carnival games and prizes for children of all ages and so much more!⁠
⁠
All Are Welcome. Click the link in the bio to learn more.⁠

Our next visit with Operation School Bell will be Thursday, November 10. Check out details on our website.
