Join us today for First Friday Walk for Justice & Peace

Update from the Vestry


The vestry met Tuesday, June 18th. In addition to normal business, we continued discussion on our next steps as a Parish, and how we will, as St. Barnabas, continue our Journey in Faith. We, the Vestry, need to complete a few more “vestry assigned items” with the Strategic Plan to prepare for presenting the Strategic Plan to the Congregation. Jack and Jay, our wardens, are working through the Supply Clergy list to provide Sunday Service coverage after July 14. Several Sundays are already filled. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions you might have.

Congratulations, Rebecca! Rebecca is one of our wonderful choral scholars. We are so grateful for the time she was with us at St. Barnabas! She shared with us her beautiful talent and voice in our choir. We will miss her but are excited for her next steps! We wish Rebecca all the best in this next chapter!

Summer Office Hours:


Our summer hours are Tuesday – Friday, 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. This change started on June 24. We will return to normal office hours on September 9. Thank you!

Join us on a sunny summer afternoon for this peaceful, prayerful walk through the center of Wilmington to promote an end to racial and social injustice and to reduce gun violence in our city.

Two special requests from the St. Barnabas Community

If anyone knows of anyone willing to rent a room to a middle-age woman, please contact Deacon Cecily at (302) 530-3493.

St. Barnabas participates in many different outreach activities, including Meals on Wheels.

One of the people we deliver meals to is going through some serious health issues and can no longer care for her two dogs. She is looking for a home for her female dog, Sasha. She weighs roughly 30 pounds. Below is more information about Sasha. If you are interested in adopting Sasha, please text Lynne McIntosh at 302.540.1864.

Hi! My name is Sasha and I love being taken on long walks, I love to cuddle and to lick 👅 you!! I am about 3 years old and I’m a poodle and possibly terrier mix. The vet is not quite sure.

 

I love to play with kids, but it would be nice if they were older, about 8 or older. I jump!! I just can’t help myself!! I’m good with other dogs, but I can be a bit bossy, so it would be nice if I can have my own person to myself!!

 

I recently started taking medication for a gallbladder problem, but the vet is not sure if it is serious or not. I am crate trained, but I occasionally have accidents in the house
