2nd Sundays at St B
Beginning February 12, we will have a Quiet morning service at 8:30am on the 2nd Sunday of every month. This is a contemplative, non-musical Eucharist service. We will use the rites from the Book of Common Prayer and use both contemporary and traditional language. This is geared primarily towards those seeking a deeper understanding of the great Mysteries of Christ's death and resurrection through contemplation. All are welcome and if you are not familiar with an Episcopal service, don't worry, we will help you through it. Check it out!
About us
St. Barnabas is an Episcopal Church and part of the Anglican Communion. This means we are both sacramental and mission oriented. We are a Total Ministry, or Ministry of All the Baptized, congregation, where all are encouraged to participate as each is called by God to do. This means some are called to help with worship, music, teaching, pastoral care, hospitality, greeting, ushering, intercession (prayers), altar guild duties or reading in addition to ordained ministry.
Our ministry team includes Father David Glaser and Father Bill Stech, our priests, and Jan Varady commissioned to pastoral care, Nancy Scott commissioned to pastoral care and hospitality, and Kathy O'Connell, Christian education coordinator and administrator.
We use the 1979 Book of Common Prayer. For your convenience, we use easy-to-follow printed bulletins. Our music is wide-ranging, from traditional hymns to contemporary praise choruses. During our service feel free to stand, sit or kneel as you are able. We take an offering, which helps support the church and our outreach to the community, and we appreciate any gift you make. We hope you will find in our service a renewed certainty that God has visited His people.
We welcome you!

For the Bible Tells Me So shown during St. Barnabas Days
This documentary film, premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival and on the Oscar shortlist of documentary features for that year, focuses on homosexuality and its perceived conflict with religion. Interviews delve into real families—some well-known and some not—and their struggles to come to terms with what it means to honor God through sexuality in modern-day America.
Contemporary Praise Workshop & Concert Friday, June 10, 7pm
St. Barnabas Days festivities will be kicked off by Danny Cox, music director at the multi-campus Kensington Community Church, Troy, Michigan, who will lead a contemporary praise music workshop for Chelsea area musicians.
