Do you have puzzles collecting dust in your closet? Are you looking for a new puzzle challenge while staying at home? Most people complete a puzzle only once. Why not share your puzzle with someone else? Join St. Bart's Puzzle Swap! 
The Puzzle Swap table is located in the upper parking circle at St. Bartholomew's on the right sidewalk (keep driving straight up the hill from the driveway). You may park in the upper parking spaces or stop quickly at the red curb if donating a puzzle only.  If donating a puzzle , please secure the box lid with tape so we don't lose any puzzle pieces. Place your donated puzzle on the table.  If choosing a puzzle , please only touch the box of the puzzle you select.
Remember to wear a mask and use social distancing when donating or choosing a puzzle. If there are more than two people at the table, please wait more than 6 feet away until it is your turn. If you have a puzzle to donate or would like a new puzzle, please let us know and we'll do our best to pick up from and deliver to you.

ADULT FORMATION
The Holy Spirit Bible Study
Wednesday, Through August 5, 10:30 a.m., Zoom
What do you know about the Holy Spirit? Our Apostle’s Creed tells us very little. “He (Jesus) was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit” and “I believe in the Holy Spirit.” The Nicene Creed tells us a little more. “We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Giver of life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.” The Holy Spirit is mentioned a lot more than we realize in both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Still, most of us know very little about the Holy Spirit. During this 12-session Bible study, we will learn about the Holy Spirit who is with us on a daily basis. The class includes a 30-minute video and discussion before and after the video (similar to how we conducted previous classes on campus, except you have to supply your own treats). Please contact Bob Capettini for an invitation to the Zoom meeting.  
Men's Bible Study Gatherings
Fridays, 7:45 a.m., on Zoom
The Men’s Bible Study Group regularly meets via Zoom on Friday mornings. This week we will be checking in and discussing how to approach the book. Then we'll begin reading and discussing Zhang Rongliang's I Stand with Christ on May 29. We welcome all interested participants (even if you aren’t actively reading the book). If you would like to receive a brief training session on how to use Zoom videoconferencing software on your laptop, iPad, or smartphone, please contact Andrew Horne , Mike Jewett , or Robert Leiter .
Tuesdays, 2-3 p.m., on Zoom
During these unprecedented times, we would like to provide an additional opportunity for study and fellowship as an offering to men in the parish who may not be able to participate on Friday mornings. Please join us for a Zoom-based weekly one hour discussion group on Tuesdays. We will start a discussion centered on Bishop Michael Curry’s book Crazy Christians . We will plan to discuss one chapter each week. Please email Beth Dean for a Zoom invitation to the meeting.
