Yesterday the Youth Forum (5th grade and up) provided the set-up, clean-up, and food for the Senior Luncheon. Sr. Warden Jason led the charge – thanks J! Meigs (final photo – Senior Luncheon Coordinator) was also in hand to help, but was happy to have a few minutes with her book! Well earned minutes!

We had a beautiful midnight service on Christmas Eve. It was had incense, candles and a full compliment of acolytes.

What a fun night!! The Children and Youth of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church hosted a fabulous Christmas pageant on the night of December 21. Thanks so much to John for his amazing work with the set, and Fr. Merritt for sticking it out all day and helping with everything, including cutting pizza at dinner. Special Thanks to Jane who organized the dinner and dessert, and made that happen! Check out our photo’s below – we had a fun night!

On Sunday, December 7th – our fabulous choir provided a wonderful evening of Advent Lessons & Carols. The church was gorgeous, and the choir was amazing. We were so happy that we had over 70 people in attendance – it was great!!

Tonight is the final rehearsal for the Advent Festival of Lessons and Carols. The choir is preparing and practicing one last time!! Be sure to attend Sunday at 5pm.

When there is a fifth Sunday the Youth Forum, students 5th – 10th grade, are responsible for the liturgical elements of the service. Today, for the first time, the Youth Forum also was offered the opportunity to provide the sermon. Ethan did a GREAT job.

On the 4th Sunday of each month, our fabulous Music Minister teaches gives the opportunity to our Sunday Schoolers to learn the first verse of the last hymn of the day. Different Sundays yield different amounts of Sunday School Singers, and while this Sunday had 3 of our 10+ kids interested, other Sundays have a higher amount. Great job to Janice and the Sunday Schoolers! [wpvideo A3fqn5IQ]

We had a great day of celebration at St. Barnabas! On June 8, we celebrated many things, including; Pentecost (note, all those wearing red), St. Barnabas Day and the commissioning of the Discernment and Search committees. We had a great day, with tons of energy and people and a lot of fun! Special Thanks to those that BBQ’d, coordinated the games, served, set-up, cleaned-up and did whatever it took to make this event happen!

The March Senior Luncheon was Monday, and it looks like lots of fun! Thanks to all the volunteers who make this great event happen each month!
