San Pablo
One of our friends from San Pablo expressed the need for a bed when we were together last week, and we are excited to say that one has been found-actually two (twin mattresses.) Now we are in need of sheets and blankets. If you have any gently used twin-sized sheets or blankets at home, or any pillows in good condition, please bring them into the donation station as soon as possible. We’d like to get our friends in a warm bed as soon as possible!

Qigong Low-key Exercise Classes at St. Barnabas
A form of traditional Chinese mind/body exercise and meditation that uses slow and precise body movements with controlled breathing and mental focusing.
Some health benefits include: improved circulation, improved balance & coordination, improved body awareness, some movements aid breathing, can help reduce stress and blood pressure
Elana would like to offer these 20-30 minute free classes to St. Barnabas on a weekly basis. A possibility would be Thursday mornings at 11am (after Word for Women and Cards & Coffee).
