4th of July Fellowship & Celebration
|
|
|
St. Barnabas celebrated the 4th of July on two separate occasions this year! 60 members of our parish gathered after church on Sunday, July 2nd, to grill hamburgers and brats and to share side dishes to go along with the main course. This was such a success that the WHI volunteers recreated the same menu on Thursday, July 6th, for all our guests who spent the night with us that night.
Many t
hanks especially to Elizabeth and Timothy Hepp for making this happen!

Congratulations, Tina Clark:
Youth Ministry Scholarship Winner!

The Office of Faith Formation is excited to announce Tina Clark as the recipient of its full scholarship to attend Forma's annual Youth Ministry Certification program. The five-month program caters to those actively engaged in youth ministry and who feel called to deepen their understanding of the work they do. Tina has served as family minister at St. Barnabas, Denver, since 2010 and is a co-leader of the YES! Colorado service trips held each summer. In addition to Tina's full scholarship, the Office of Faith Formation was able to provide three additional partial scholarships to youth leaders across the state.

Usher Training this Sunday, July 23rd
Training for all current and prospective ushers will immediately follow the 9:30am service this Sunday, July 23rd. Ushers are an important element of hospitality for St. Barnabas and an intricate part of Sunday Worship. This training will be offered as many times as necessary to assure that all our ushers are familiar with their duties and use consistent procedures.
The meeting will take place in the Sanctuary immediately after 9:30am service this coming Sunday, for approximately 30 minutes. Thank you!

Greeting, Welcoming and Connecting
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.
