Some General Q&A
Everyone is welcome here, regardless of who you are or your life story. Experience Christ among His encouragers and learn more about His mercy and saving grace.
-
YES! Bring them. We don't have a nursery yet (in the process), so toddlers and infants stay with Mom or Dad during the service.
-
At present, Sunday School consists of one(1) class for all age groups. Class begins after Church - the same time as Adult Christian Education.
-
St. Barnabas is "Biblically Based" and "Liturgically Rich". We use the 1928 Book of Common Prayer to guide us as we worship. We call it the Bible in prayer form. For praise we utilize our latest Hymnal of both Traditional and Modern hymns.
The Sermons are always in accordance with God’s infallible, unchanging Word and are relevant for today. They are usually 15 minutes (give or take). Long enough to teach but not bore you.
-
We lovingly invite all Baptized Christians who love the Lord in sincerity and truth, to the Lord’s Table to receive Holy Communion. This includes children 2YO and up if the parents so desire.
If you are not Baptized, please feel free to approach the Communion rail with crossed arms for a blessing from the priest.
-
Sunday Holy Communion begins promptly at 10:00 am and lasts about an hour. Sometimes a little longer if there is a Baptism or special service. Please arrive 10 - 15 minutes early so we can properly greet you.
Evening Prayer begins at 4:30 pm on Wednesday and lasts about 30 minutes.
-
As a general rule, we Sit when listening, kneel (if able) or stand when praying, and stand when singing.
-
Some wear jeans and some business casual. Just wear what’s comfortable?
-
Please arrive earlier to listen to our outstanding organist, Bill, before the Service Begins. It’s definitely worth it.
After worship, there is always social time with coffee and snacks so please stay and get to know us and we you.
And by all means, join us for our covered-dish luncheon every last Sunday of the month.
