Greeting, Welcoming &
Connecting with Visitors
While many people are wary of being a church greeter or speaking to people they don’t know, we need to give people the tools to be welcoming. Being welcoming is an act of hospitality. Welcoming people into the church service is like welcoming guests to a dinner party. The host goes to the door to welcome guests; we should do the same at church. The host introduces guests to others; we should do the same at church. The host looks for connections in guests’ lives; we should do the same at church. The crucial first step is the welcome, whether at a worship service, a summer picnic, a concert, or other church event.

Send Love with Your Leftovers
|

|
|
|
Share the Care needs your help in filling the church freezer with nutritious meals packaged in individual servings. The next time your family fails to eat all of the soup, chili, stew, lasagna, etc. that you prepare for them, please package the leftovers in individual portions in freezer-safe, microwaveable plastic containers and bring these meals to church. They will be distributed throughout the summer to shut-ins and to people experiencing homelessness. Please label each container with the name of the meal and the date it was prepared. Thanks so much for your help!

Eucharistic Minister Training - August 19th
St. Barnabas is hosting the Diocesan training for Eucharistic Visitors on August 19th from 9am to 12 noon. “What is an Eucharistic Visitor?”
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.
