Stained Glass Windows for Sale (again)

For the first time in several years, parishioners at St. Barnabas will be able to purchase and dedicate stained glass windows in memory of or in thanksgiving for their loved ones. As you probably know, the windows consist of a central, hand-painted medallion surrounded by a framed pattern of stained glass. From the beginning, the total cost of the creation and installation of each window (currently $1900) is covered by the purchaser with no cost to the church. Currently 13 window locations are still available. If you believe you might be interested in purchasing a window, please see the attached for directions and medallion choices or contact Hal Bruner at [email protected]. Also contact Hal if you think you might be willing to serve on the Stained Glass Window Committee.

The St. Barnabas Becoming Beloved Community (BBC) would like to thank everyone who joined us for our discussion of the thought provoking movie, Who We Are. Thirty five people attended and we had participants from Temple Beth El and SsAM and other area churches. We enjoyed praying together, eating delicious soups, bread and desserts, and had very honest and thoughtful conversations about racial justice and living into our Baptismal Covenant. Thanks also to all who contributed to the food!
