Weekly E-News for July 27th, 2017

Jesus put before the crowds another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that someone took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all the seeds, but when it has grown it is the greatest of shrubs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.”
Matthew 13:31
We are never more like Jesus than  when we give and when we serve.

"Don't just come to church.  Be the church."

There’s something that Jesus does to our souls through serving that heals us and that changes us, and we have many people and places that need your gifts, skills, heart and hands.  Please consider joining a team to serve in our church.

Sun Valley Christian Church in Gilbert Arizona is leading a wonderful series all about St. Barnabas' generosity, encouragement and and his influence in our Christian history in this month of July.  Check out their informative and inspiring sermons and notes online  and via their app, and share your thoughts and ideas with the hashtag #secretlyawesome.

A Eucharistic Visitor is a lay person authorized to take the consecrated elements in a timely manner following a Celebration of Holy Eucharist to members of the congregation who, by reason of illness or infirmity, were unable to be present at the Celebration of the Eucharist.   Even if you have been trained in the past, a refresher is expected by the Diocese.


If you have any questions, contact Helen Barron at 303-913-0717.  Thank you!


Heads up - Cheeseman No Parking Days

Cheesman Park has two more auto-free days this summer: August 13 and September 10.  Car free days in Cheeseman occur on the  second Sunday  of every summer month, and park roads are closed to parking and driving from 5:00 am to 6:00 pm.  

Musicians Wanted

We would love to have parishioners sing or play an instrument during the Anthem portion of the service, since our choir is on break until September.  To sign-up, please email us at contact-us@stbdenver.org.  If you would like Carole Tillotson to accompany you, please email her the music at least two weeks in advance and be available for practice on the Thursday or Friday before the Sunday you perform: ctill27@centurylink.net or 303-986-0201.  There is also a sign-up sheet by the name-tag carousel in Lukens Wing.

Thank you for contributing your musical talents to St. Barnabas!
Missed Usher Training last week?  
Please join us this Sunday immediately after 9:30 am service. St. Barnabas needs to grow our pool of available Sunday servers, including ushers.  Experienced and prospective ushers are invited.
