What? No Rector's Cross?
The Rev. Mother Nina Bacas
We had a wonderful Annual Meeting. I’m so in awe of all of you who bring such life to the church. A large part of our shared life is our shared traditions. In my address, I spoke of the joy that comes from reviving St. Bart’s traditions. But during the meeting, I skipped one. Did you notice? [...]

Guest Preacher: Kathy Wilder
Feb 3 & 4
Kathy Wilder will be our guest preacher at all services this weekend as well as lead our Adult Forum from 9-9:45 a.m. A lifelong camp and youth development professional who has dedicated her life to advocating for justice and compassion, Kathy is also the Executive Director of Camp Stevens, a diocesan property nestled in the hills of Julian, CA. Camp Stevens is the site of the Children’s Epiphany Camp, which our Sunday school children had the opportunity to attend this month, and the Youth Epiphany Retreat, which our Youth Crew members have the opportunity to attend in February. Kathy’s wife is Hannah Wilder, St. Bart’s former Communications Manager and a diocesan clergy member who is often the chaplain at our camps and retreats. These two are great friends of St. Bart’s!

Ministry Spotlight: Altar Guild | |

Altar Guild
The St. Bart's Altar Guild is an integral part of all worship services. Currently, Altar Guild has 18 active members with one on leave. They setup bread and wine, serve and cleanup after four to five services each week. They also setup the chapel and sanctuary to reflect each liturgical season. In 2023, Carla Morrisey took on the role as Altar Guild Assistant Director to assist Cyndi McClelland, our director as we have added a multitude of services to our monthly schedule including the bi-monthly ReGen Services and Thursday Healing Services. This ministry is always open to having new members and they have opportunities to be trained throughout the year. To learn more, read the upcoming 2023 Annual Report or contact Cyndi McClelland.

LISTENING FOR GOD: CHILDRENS’ CAMP
By: Leighton Jones
I’m listening. How often could we catch ourselves saying this but not really be present in the space of listening. I know that I am guilty of saying it as I multitask throughout the day, most especially during dinner preparation--while I am cooking and answering emails, homework is being done, sports equipment is being searched for, and tales from the day are being shared. In these moments, I realize that listening seems to have become something we all do, while doing something else. [..]
