Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.

Sign the Cards to Share the Care
|
|
Almost every Sunday Sher Mangan, on behalf of the Share the Care committee, prepares greeting cards for people who are sick, facing an operation, recovering from a hospital stay or grieving the loss of a loved one. Please look out for the cards in Lukens and sign them. The recipients are always tremendously grateful for this sign of our care.
Make this a habit every Sunday. Many thanks!

Adult Forum - Weekday Service Proposed
|
|
|
Adult Faith Formation is seeking interested parishioners to attend a Study Service to be held at St. Barnabas on Wednesday evenings. Participants will read materials on Biblical or theological topics which the group has selected. Examples would be exploring a book of the Bible more deeply using internet-sourced commentary or examining the concept of Forgiveness as presented in The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen. The format will include introduction by a lay leader, sharing and prayer requests, discussion of the selected topic, and closing with the Compline service from the Book of Common Prayer.
If interested, please contact
Chris Bauer.
Details are still flexible so please get in touch even if the day or time won't work for you -- we may modify to suit the group.
