Spiritual Tools for Survival
October 15. Spiritual Sharing and Exchange. Sharing a spiritual experience with others can be a meaningful way to deepen our own faith walk. This week, let’s practice what we’ve learned in the last month by sharing a personal experience, a ritual, a poem, a reading (any source, not necessarily Christian or Biblical), a song, a picture - whatever caused the divine spirit to touch you. Be mindful of others, and bring what you can share in a few minutes with other participants. We’ll compile these into a St. B resource that can be distributed by print or electronic media.
October 22. Meditation Sharing and Exchange. Patrick Wilson will present the meditations of Howard Thurman as the centerpiece of a discussion allowing participants to share and exchange meditations. Howard Thurman (1899-1981) was a mystic, prophet, poet, philosopher and theologian whose writings promote the idea that social responsibility emerges out of religious faith. He found the unity in all living things. Through his writings we will explore that harmony and center ourselves for a deeper spiritual journey. We envision that the Forum meditation and spiritual resource exchange will allow distribution of these resources in St. B print and electronic media.
Both programs will be held in Grant Hall, St. Barnabas, at 11:00 a.m.

We ask for your prayer for all those affected by disasters in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Mexico, and beyond.
O Lord Our God, accept the fervent prayers of your people; in the multitude of your mercies, look with compassion upon us and all who turn to you for help; for you are gracious, O lover of souls, and to you we give glory, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and for ever. Amen. (BCP p395, Collect at the Prayers #5)

Dive Deep into Spirit Wednesdays Nights starting in January
A St. Barnabas Contemplative Compline (day’s end service in community) will launch based on input from Forum brainstorming and interest from several parishioners. Combining spiritual reflection, theological inquiry, personal sharing and ancient monastic ritual, we’ll seek a peace point in the rhythm of our weeks. After mindfully gathering ourselves we’ll discuss a text (initially Howard Thurman’s Jesus and the Disinherited) that spiritualizes a problem of our day, share relief in mutual prayer, and culminate with the short Compline liturgy. Like all STB programs it will be evolved through its practice by those participating.
Starts:
January 10, 2018 6:30–8:00 p.m.,
at St. Barnabas, and continuing every Wednesday evening. Drop-ins welcome! Contact
Chris Bauer
for more information or to get on mailing list.

Encore Performance of Songs for Humanity
|
|
For everyone who missed their “Songs for Humanity” benefit concert back in August, Erin Bell, Stephanie Hood and Matt Kingham will be giving an encore performance on
Saturday, November 4 at 7:00 pm in Lukens Wing
. This benefit recital for the Southern Poverty Law Center was so well received that they were encouraged to perform it again with the simple hope that more people would be able to hear the fantastic program of opera, art song, and musical theater - including a scene from Wicked provided to the trio by the composer, Stephen Schwartz!
Again, every dollar donated will be given directly to the SPLC. Please put this event on your calendar, share it with your friends, and bring your donations to hear this powerful, delightful and moving program. Please contact
Erin Bell
for more information, and share the Facebook event with your friends.
