Dear Church Family,
We are attempting to organize Christmas caroling for parishioners who cannot come to church. We were thinking of doing it on Saturday, December 21 or Sunday December 22 (after the Bishop’s visit). We are planning for early afternoon.
Please reach out if you are interested and which date best works for you. We are particularly interested in choir members who would be able to join us.

Interfaith Rotating Shelter Volunteers Needed
St Barnabas supplies volunteers to Christ Church, New Brunswick, which provides shelter for homeless men.
We partner with Christ Church, New Brunswick to staff its hospitality for the Men’s Homeless Shelter for two weeks each winter.
St. Barnabas has participated in this ministry since its inception in 2000.
The people who have volunteered in the past have found it to be an extraordinary spiritual experience in ministry to those to whom we are called to serve, the friendless and the needy.
The next dates to serve are:
Week of January 4th - 11th (note that this "week" includes 2 Saturdays)
Week of February 16th - 22nd
A sign-up sheet is posted in Hubbard Hall
Please get in touch with Bryan Botsch if you have any questions
