Update from the Vestry
The vestry retreat was held Friday & Saturday, June 7 and 8. On Friday, the vestry talked about our goals, our mission and our vision. The vestry met with Canon Brad on Saturday, June 8 for several hours. It was an amazing conversation. It was powerful and motivating and we found that we are in a very good place thanks to Fr. Kenn, his ministries and the work of the parish. We are currently working on an outline of steps to move forward and also planning a going-away celebration for father Kenn. If anyone has any specific questions, please come to us. We intend to keep you informed every step of the way.

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

As the Racial Justice and Reconciliation Commission in the Episcopal Church in Delaware continues our commitment to the vital work of racial justice, we believe there is power in coming together to deepen our understanding, strengthen our resolve, and forge bonds of solidarity. You are invited to join us as we embark on a transformative journey together.
Our pilgrimage September 22 - 26, 2024 will lead us to the historic cities of Montgomery and Selma, Alabama, where the echoes of the civil rights movement still reverberate. Together, we will walk in the footsteps of those who courageously paved the way for justice, equality, and freedom.
Let us raise our voices, amplify our actions, and stand in solidarity with all who seek a world where racial justice is not just a dream, but a lived reality.
