Formation at St. Barnabas

Prayer as a Way of Life continues Tuesday, February 27th

Join us for a Lenten journey into what Jesus calls “your secret room,” building individual prayer practices. The 6-week series will be a blend of lectures, small group discussion, and workshopping.

This week: The Daily Office. We open the BCP (on a weekday) and learn the joys of the Lectionaries and Morning, Noonday, and Evening Prayer (with a nice Compline finish).

If you’re interested in a practical approach to mindfulness and deepening your conversation with God, we think you’ll enjoy this experience.

Classes meet each Tuesday in Lent from 6:00 - 7:30 pm. Childcare is available for each session.

Fellowship at St. Barnabas

LGBTQ+ Folks & Friends will meet on Thursday, February 29th from 6:00 - 7:30pm in the EYC building.
