Bring your furry, finned, or feathered friends to St. Barnabas for our Blessing of the Animals service at 10:15 AM.

For the comfort and safety of all, please bring your pet on a leash or in a carrier. 

We will host a Funeral Preparation Seminar on Sunday, October 26th from noon to 1:30 PM. There will be a discussion about pre-planning led by a representative from Foster's Funeral Home, as well as instruction from Kersi on creating a funeral liturgy. Light refreshments will be served. Please pre-register by emailing the office at office@stbarnabas.ca or call (403) 283-3035.

Children of all ages are invited to join us for a fun and engaging time of learning, singing, and growing in faith. If you are interested in volunteering with Sunday School please talk to Abra after the service!

Sunday School will be held on October 5th and October 26th. 

Check the Bulletins page of the website for the Youth Bulletin next week. 

The service on October 5 will not be livestreamed.

Our annual Harvest Lunch for parishioners will be catered by Bon Ton Meat Market who will provide prime rib, mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, and gravy. Yummy!

Please sign up on the sheet in the narthex by October 12.  

This year’s World of Gifts highlights the bright ideas and innovation of our partners. From clean water and eco-toilets to egg incubators and honey bees, you can support projects that improve local health, care for creation and provide opportunities for people to become more economically stable.

Thanks to a generous donor, all gifts will be matched up to $100,000!

Across the country, people have received the World of Gifts guide in the October Anglican Journal. Didn't get yours yet? Not to worry, you can review the guide here.

Every year, our donors give approximately $400,000-$450,000 to the World of Gifts campaign. You can “buy” gifts to support our partners, or why not give a meaningful gift in honour of a loved one? Simply check off the box on the order form to receive a physical card that you can fill in and deliver.

What about postal interruptions?

When ordering online, you can indicate whether you’d like to receive a physical card (to be mailed after the postal strike ends), or send an ecard directly to the recipient. You can also download the gifts cards to print at home and hand deliver them to the people on your Christmas list.

With each of these 40 items, you’re showing your commitment to Alongside Hope’s mission to build a truly just, healthy and peaceful world.

Alongside Hope’s 2025 Christmas cards are available in two designs, painted by the Rt. Rev. John Watton, Bishop of Central Newfoundland. In “Something Happened in Bethlehem” a nativity scene is lit up in silhouette by a spectacular blast of light and colour. In “Winter Light,” the rising sun shimmers in a purplish sky over a Newfoundland village, a reminder that with the birth of Jesus, hope begins.

A donation toward Alongside Hope Christmas cards supports its partners, and also tells people about the good work. A minimum donation of $25 per pack of 12 cards is recommended. Donations of $25 or more qualify for a tax receipt. Please allow 3-4 weeks for shipping.

To sponsor altar flowers, sign up on the flower calendar posted on the bulletin board in the narthex. As there is room for only one set of flowers on the altar, if someone has already signed up for the date you wish, we request that you choose another date. Cost of flower sponsorship is $60 and is included in the calculation of your tax receipt.

Please contact the office by Tuesday of the week before your sponsorship date to provide your dedication to be printed in the bulletin.
