The Great Isaiah Scroll, ca. 356-100 BCE

Unearthed in 1946 in Qumran Cave 1 in the Judaean Desert

Housed in the Shrine of the Book at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem

We are a community of faith that welcomes and values all people.

We commit to follow Christ, serve others, grow in faith and

transform the world by sharing God’s love. 

Dear ones,

Our Annual Meeting happens on Sunday after the 10am service. It will be a time of celebrating the year gone by, of doing the business of the church, of feasting together, enjoying the community we so love and cherish, and also to begin to look ahead to the future God is calling St Barnabas into! While Annual Meetings mostly look back at the year gone by, on Sunday, we’ll look at the year ahead too. You won’t want to miss it!

And while the Annual Meeting is so important in the life of our congregation, I can’t stop thinking about our wider collective life. Last Sunday, on the eve of the inauguration, some of us remembered and honored the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by joining an interfaith peace vigil at the feet of Pia, the Peacekeeper. Others of us prayed, or gathered with friends, or walked on the beach or otherwise reflected on the times we live in. Our reflections and prayers and ponderings are so important, and they are only a part of what we are called to. Thoughts and prayers are never enough. Yes, it is important to listen for the Spirit, to pray deeply, to reflect on what is happening all around us. But if we listen, really listen to Jesus, if we take seriously our baptismal promise to strive for justice and peace and to respect the dignity of every human being, we know there is work to be done, and that as the hands and feet and face of Christ, we are the ones to do it. I think you know, it is never my intention to tell anyone what to do or what to think. That would be profoundly disrespectful and antithetical to what I see as the work of a pastor and priest. But it is my intention to put the gospel in front of us in such a way that we know we have to do something. What that something is, is between you and your God. 

The Episcopal Church is in the forefront of the news today, because of the gospel preaching of Bishop Marianne Budde. Her sermon at the Service of Prayer for the Nation, a sermon in which she pleaded with President Trump to have mercy on the many people who are so very afraid for their lives and the lives of their children, has put our church right out there in the forefront of the news. I cannot help but think about the many complaints so many of us have made (myself included!) about Christianity being coopted in the news by professed Christians who use scripture as a weapon and proclaim a Jesus we don’t recognize. And now the Episcopal Church is all over the national news, saying Jesus loves and cares for all people. Given the current administration’s seeming predisposition to outlaw, deport or otherwise disappear anyone or anything that doesn’t support its position, it's a scary time to be an Episcopal priest. But if we’re honest, the gospel IS scary. Look at what happened to Jesus…

I don’t have a perfect conclusion. Perhaps like you, I have more questions than answers. It would have been easier to post a couple of pictures of the beach at Carmel where I spent the last three days, than to try to write about what is happening all around us. But the truth is, I can’t do that. We will find our way together, and in the meantime, I'll offer you some of the wise words Bishop LaBelle gave his clergy…

Friends, there is much to be said about the policies that are being put forth that disregard the dignity of every human being in direct opposition to our baptismal covenant. There is much fear by people in our community that is merited and needing consolation for we know that perfect love casts out all fear. The response to these actions is to work for dignity, speak honestly, and embrace humility. That is the way of Jesus. We can speak forcefully against those policies that seek to dehumanize our siblings while also not in the process dehumanize those with whom we may significantly disagree. For too long our nation has done that, and it has gotten us only further down the path of hate. Choose love, beloved ones.

More love. More love. More love.

Can’t wait to see you in church on Sunday!

Faithfully, Karen†

St. Barnabas Annual Meeting

This Sunday, January 26

Please join us after the 10 a.m. service on Sunday, January 26 for our All–Parish Annual Meeting! We’ll share a light lunch, hear stories of the year gone by, and stories of the year to come. Finance Chair Borgan Anderson will present the state of finances and the vestry–approved budget for St. Barnabas in 2025 (it’s great news!)and we'll have a financial overview of 2024. We'll talk about about the process for our transition to a new rector, elect new vestry members (candidates detailed below) and convention delegates, and say goodbye and thank you to those who have completed their terms of service. And we will thank God for the gift of this community and the work God has given us to do. Don’t miss it!  

New St. Barnabas Bylaws

Click here to view the St. Barnabas Bylaws that are set to be voted on this Sunday. The proposed revisions bring the Bylaws up to date based on revised statutes, the Constitutions & Canons of The Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Olympia, and the amended Articles of Incorporation enacted by the parish a few years ago. Notable updates include:

• “Communicants in Good Standing” being elected to the Vestry. By including the technical term “Communicants in Good Standing” as defined in Canon Law, the Bylaws will not need to change should the Diocesan or National Church Canons change their definition.
• Chancellor appointments are no longer required but may be appointed as appropriate, in case a qualified Chancellor is not available.
• Clarifying the fact that administrative authority and corporate presidency in the absence of a Rector belongs to the Senior Warden. This will be important in the upcoming interim period between Rev. Karen's departure and the election of our next rector.



Questions about the Bylaws or the process? Contact the Chancellor, Katherine Bolles, municipallawcenter@gmail.com.

Vestry Candidates

Barbara Bolles, mother of Liz Ellis (let’s establish that right away), moved to Bainbridge Island in 1991. St. Barnabas found her during Advent of that year and she very shortly felt at home. Ever since, experience at church has been a thrilling combination of building friendships and community, engaging in ministry, and being consoled, comforted and challenged—each a chance to practice being open and awake. Always receiving more than she gives, she is fueled by the beauty of worship and the deeply thoughtful homilies. She is so glad to share a pew with her sister, Kathy, and brother-in-law, Tom, and see all the St. Barnabans face-to-face since we fully returned from the Covid separation.

After a rewarding career in education that was mostly local but included spicy chunks in Japan and the Bahamas, she retired from classroom teaching at Odyssey Multiage Program a decade ago. Home, the place where love resides, is wherever she is with her one-and-only, Running-Grass, supplemented by the walking and entertainment of/by Frances the Wonder Chihuahua. Volunteering at Peaceful Morning Farm and at Odyssey, trips to Japan, gardening, cooking classes, developing curriculum, studying Japanese and other disciplines, occasional yoga, and dining with family and friends make life magical. Speaking of magical: St. Barnabas. She is so grateful for the many offerings at St Barnabas that purposefully keep us connected and in a state of transformation. Listening to and taking care of each other is more important than ever. 

Trip Duncan

Upon retirement, Lynn and I returned to the Northwest about 5 years ago after discovering Bainbridge Island. We came from Houston and a large Episcopal church. We were especially blessed to find St. Barnabas.

I was born into the Episcopal church and much of my school days were in Anglican boys’ schools overseas. I did return to the US for university at Stanford, then medical school at Baylor in Houston. Resident and fellowship training took us to San Francisco, Seattle, and Sydney. My early career was in the Army on active duty for 13 years, with 3 years in West Germany. Most of my work, however, was at children’s hospitals in Seattle and Houston as a pediatric ENT surgeon.

Fortunately, I discovered volunteerism in retirement as a Kitsap County forest steward, stream steward, and beach naturalist. At St. Barnabas, Lynn and I are helping to initiate the upcoming Invite Welcome Connect training and program. I enjoy being in a walking group, flyfishing, reading, traveling, and corgis.

Over the last 10 years I have been lucky to attend the annual Summer School at the Anglican seminary at Oxford University, Wycliffe Hall. Fortuitously, I was able to walk the Portuguese Camino de Santiago last May and have been on medical missions to the children’s hospital in Kathmandu.

Lynn and I are most blessed to have two wonderful daughters and three grandchildren. It would be a humble honor to serve the community at St. Barnabas as a vestry member.

Evan Lenz once responded to a seven–word autobiography challenge with the following:

Loved Jesus. Lost faith. Found God. Happy!

He later wrote a series of haikus:

My mind was darkened,

encased in theology,

afraid of the Real.

Jesus disappeared.

Abandoned, all hope gone—yet

my heart kept beating.

I opened my eyes,

and Jesus was everywhere:

gone just the idol.

Christianity—

an expression of my faith,

not its arbiter.

Recently, Evan wrote:

I attended Holy Week services at St. Barnabas in 2023, had a profound experience and never looked back. I joined the choir later that year. I was born in Seattle with Alaska Native heritage (Tlingit/Haida). I’m now blessed with three adult children (Sammy, Morgan, and Lucas), thanks to their mother Lisa. We are no longer together, but I consider her my “BFF.” I studied piano and philosophy at Wheaton, I’m now a software engineer and business owner, and I aspire to soon attend business school and create a music learning technology company that represents my life’s work.

Evan’s favorite movies are The Matrix and It’s a Wonderful Life.

Elaine Percival

I was born in Rochester, NY, but lived in many parts of the country growing up. My husband and I came to the PNW, sight unseen, in 1970, just 2 months before the birth of the first of our 2 sons. I never tire of the beauty of this corner of the world. 

 Growing up, my family did not attend church often. I knew nothing of the Episcopal church until my husband introduced me to it. At first it felt a bit foreign and I didn’t always feel at ease. As time went by, I found that the very things that felt so different initially, became the things that now I cherish the most. I love that ours is a liturgical church; I so enjoy the feeling of connectedness knowing that all worshipers around the world are hearing the same readings on the same Sundays and participating in the Eucharist as I do. St Barnabas has been my bedrock of loving support and friendship for me since my husband died 7 years ago. I have participated at church in numerous ways but none is more meaningful to me than serving as a Eucharistic Minister, sharing in the body and blood of Christ with all of you. 

 Much of my professional life was spent working in either public health or non-profit community clinics in my role as a registered dietitian. I have a BS from Michigan State University and a MS from the University of Washington. I love paddling around in Port Madison Bay in my kayak each summer, and also enjoy hiking, gardening, traveling when possible, and being with my family as often as I can.

Dave Powell

Jeanne and I were married in 1967. We have two married daughters and six grandchildren. I have lived in Washington state my entire life except three years in grad school in California and the year and a half Jeanne and I were in VISTA in the south. We moved to the Puget Sound area in 1970, and have lived in Seattle, Bainbridge (1972-79 and 2018-present), and Port Townsend. I planned on being a math professor; but part way through grad school developed an interest in people and learning and ended up being a high school principal. Then at age 40 I realized I wanted more intellectual challenge and less politics, and made an abrupt career shift, went to law school and practiced law for a long time.

We have spent a great deal of pleasurable time in the outdoors—biking, walking, backpacking, XC skiing, kayaking—where I continually sense the presence of God. In recent years we have made a number of excursions to Celtic land— Scotland, Wales, Ireland—including some long distance pilgrimage walks, and many stays in spiritual retreat on the Isle of Iona.

I grew up in the Christian Church. Then came a (typical) long dry spell during teen age and young adult years. In Port Townsend and Seattle we attended Presbyterian Churches for many years. There I had good instruction in the Bible and Christian thought, but ultimately was discouraged by the increasingly conservative drift. We then attended Congregational churches in Seattle and on Bainbridge. I feel my faith continually evolved and matured in the two Seattle churches in which I was very involved. I believe I was led by the Spirit to St. Barnabas, and have been attending regularly since May of last year; not a very long time I know. I am overwhelmed with joy by the spiritual depth, the expressions of love in the sermons, the beautiful music, the variety of activities to become involved in, and the genuine friendliness I feel here. I am honored to be asked to serve on Vestry.

Adult Faith Formation

Epiphany Book Study

Wednesdays in February (5, 12, 19, 26)

6:30-8:30 p.m.

St. Barnabas Library

We live in challenging times of change and division. As Christians, we may be asking ourselves what God is calling us to do and to be. Beginning on the first Wednesday of February and continuing for the next 3 Wednesdays, we’ll meet to discuss the book Jesus and the Powers by N.T. Wright and Michael Bird. N.T. Wright is a former Anglican Bishop, professor emeritus of New Testament and a prolific author; Michael Bird is an Australian theology professor and author, and together they extend a call for Christians everywhere to discern the nature of Christian witness during times of political upheaval. Combining biblical scholarship with church history and political theology, the authors address topics such as Christian nationalism and the rise of political autocracies. Linda Maxson, Michael Fitzpatrick and Trip Duncan will facilitate the discussions. St. Barnabas has purchased several copies of the book. Please contact Linda Maxson, ljmaxson@gmail.com, if you are interested in participating and would like a copy.

Seeking Lenten Devotional Writers

As in years past, St. Barnabas will offer a devotional with scriptural reflections for each day of Lent and Holy Week, written by our very own parishioners and clergy. It is time to begin preparing our Lenten Devotional and we hope you’ll participate! With a bit of scripture as a prompt, writers have several weeks to pray about and work on your reflection. There’s really no limitation on style, only that you allow yourself to be open to the Holy Spirit’s movement in you throughout the process. Writers have described the experience of spiritual reflection and writing for this devotional as “engaging,” “very meaningful,” and “challenging, in a good way!”... all of which deepen their connection with God. If you would like to write for our devotional, please email the office, info@stbbi.org.

Resources for the Strangers Among Us

As Christians, our faith is shaped by the biblical story of people whom God led into foreign countries to escape oppression. Exodus tells us the story of the ancient Israelites escaping slavery in the land of Egypt and wandering in the wilderness without a home. In Leviticus 19:33-34, God commands that we remember this sojourn as part of our own story of faith: “When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as the citizen among you; you shall love the alien as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.”

The Episcopal Church has provided many resources for us to support and protect immigrants in our country, who are some of the most vulnerable among us. Click here to access those resources and to read the full statement from The Most Rev. Sean Rowe, Presiding Bishop and Julia Ayala Harris, President of the House of Deputies on recent Presidential Executive Orders.

We must be prepared to protect our friends and neighbors as we are called to do by Jesus when he says, “‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did it to me.’” Matthew 25:40

2025 Secret Prayer Partner Sign Ups

I am inviting all women of St. Barnabas to participate in one of the most awe-inspiring programs here at our church. Secret Prayer Partners is a group of women in the parish who commit to praying for a partner—secretly—for one year. Your partner does not know who is holding her up in prayer, but that someone out there is! You are encouraged to remember your SPP with cards, gifts, other remembrances on her special occasions or when you are motivated throughout the year. All of this is done in secret. It is amazing that we can form bonds in secret, but it does happen. Sign ups are going on now. Please find a form in the foyer, at the Welcome Table, fill out this Google Form online, or contact Sue Thompkins, susan.thompkins@gmail.com or 828/230-9328. We would love to welcome you to the group and a very special experience.

From now until mid-winter break, we’ll explore how faith and art can go hand in hand. We’ll hear about artists and how their faith impacts their work, and Rev. Jim Friedrich will join us on February 2 to talk about religious art from around the world, sharing some of his favorite art and artists. We're looking forward to exploring the artistic aspect of spirituality and faith with all of you!

Be sure to RSVP for February and March Youth Group Movie Nights!

Diocesan Youth Confirmation Program

The Diocesan Youth Confirmation Program brings together youth from across the Diocese of Olympia to explore the Episcopal faith, culminating in a confirmation service at Cathedral Day, May 3, 2025. All youth, ages 13 to 18 (seniors in high school) are invited and welcome to participate in this program.

Via Zoom on Sunday evenings, starting February 16 through April 27, from 7-8:30 p.m., we will be working our way through a curriculum called Confirm Not Conform. This curriculum is designed to encourage and invite youth to ask the hard questions and grapple with their own understanding of what they believe and why. We will have different guest teachers who will lead the lessons and conversations. These teachers are clergy, lay leaders, and faith formation staff from across the Diocese. Facilitated small group break-outs will provide time for conversation with peers of the same age.

Stewardship Corner

We are all in this epic period of human history together. The ebb and flow of our times seem challenging, and they are upsetting, dangerous, and unpredictable. Each of us will have moments of grace and celebration, as well as encounters with fear and devastation. Both of these states, it seems to me, are part of our human experience and cannot be wished for or wished away. These states instead can strengthen our character and give us access to more depth and greater compassion. Each of us has the potential for including God in our day to day being, even though it feels difficult to arrive at a perfect union in this life.

Thomas Merton reminds us that we already possess God in grace; and, therefore, in that sense, our connection to God exists. And so, by holding God’s hand and leaning into the challenges of our times, we possess the capacity to join others in fellowship, prayer support, and resilience in our capacity to love and connect with the spirit of life. Throughout history, we humans have been tested, and yet what ultimately prevails is love, generosity, wholeness, and gratitude.

“Let gratitude be the pillow upon which we kneel…”**

Praying For Each Other:

The St. Barnabas Prayer Chain

Is there someone you would like us to pray for? Would you like to pray for others in our community? The St. Barnabas Prayer Chain consists of a group of volunteers who believe in the power of prayer and who willingly and regularly pray for others. Drucy Burnet Hodge (drucy15@msn.com or 206/780-2904) coordinates our chain, receiving requests for prayers, and sends those prayers out to the ones who pray. If you would like us to pray for you or someone you love, please contact Drucy. Prayer requests can be as simple as giving a first name and asking for prayers or more detailed, if you’d like. Parishioners remain on the prayer list for a month, non–parishioners for two weeks. The long-term prayer list is periodically reviewed and revised. If you would like to join us in praying for the people on our Prayer Chain, please email Drucy at drucy15@msn.com, and ask to be added to the list.
