ALL SAINTS SUNDAY
Join us this Sunday as we honor and remember those who have gone before us in death since our last All Saints Day. We will speak those names of our departed members, light a candle, and toll a bell. We will also have time for you to come forward to light candles in sand trays as you remember those in your life who have died. We will also have an anointing station for those who chose to have a healing anointing.

Ministry Teams Volunteers
Are you looking for a place to plug-in at St. Barnabas? Would you like to serve in worship? We are always looking to add volunteers to all of our ministry teams, but we are especially looking to fill two new roles we’ve created:
Acolytes light the candles during the prelude and extinguish them during the postlude. They also hand the offering plates to ushers and collect them after the offering, and help if needed during communion.
Sound Technicians turn on the sound system, ensure that worship leaders have microphones and batteries are fresh, and adjust volume levels during worship, if necessary. It’s not nearly as technical as the name would lead you to believe!
Talk to Pastor Stephanie with questions or to volunteer!
