St. Barnabas Episcopal Church

Ancient rites. Progressive minds. Affirming hearts.

Advent is upon us!

On November 27th, Hope Sunday, we began the season of expectation as we memorialize the birth of Christ the Savior. The following Sundays in Advent are:

Advent 2, Peace Sunday,
December 4th
Advent 3, Joy Sunday,
also called Marian Sunday, to honor The Blessed Virgin Mary, December 11th
Advent 4, Love Sunday,
December 18th

Each week will feature lessons about these elements of Advent. Observing a Holy Advent is a great way to step back from the hustle and bustle of "holiday" preparations and get back to the sacredness of the Advent season.

Almighty God, you have created us out of the dust of the earth: Grant that these ashes may be to us a sign of our mortality and penitence, that we may remember that it is only by your gracious gift that we are given everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

St. Barnabas is an open and affirming congregation.
We welcome ALL to join us.
