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 March 15 and March 22.

The Lent book for 2026 is “A Different Kind of Fast: Feeding Our True Hungers in Lent” by Christine Valters Paintner. Books are still available and can be picked up on Sunday from Kersi. The cost is $15 and payment may be made by cash, cheque (payable to St. Barnabas with the memo “book study”) or e-transfer to office@stbarnabas.ca. You may read independently or join a discussion group that will meet over Zoom on March 2 and March 16 at 7:00 PM.

Our Lenten Quiet Afternoon will take place on Saturday, February 28 from 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM. Please plan to come to try different spiritual disciplines involving prayer, craft, music, and meditation. 

Our Alpha sessions have started, but there is still an opportunity for those who are curious about faith to join us for supper, a video, and lively discussion. More information can be found on the home page of the website or contact Rev. Marcus at deacon@stbarnabas.ca

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the gift of Alpha. Open our eyes to the friends, neighbours, and colleagues who are already drawing toward you, and give us the courage to extend a personal invitation on your behalf. Amen.

Wild Paths of Peace, written by Martha Jarvis, explores the unexpected hope of peacemaking at time of conflict in the world and in our personal lives. As the Anglican Communion’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Jarvis works to create partnerships between churches and UN teams as they respond to conflict, climate change and forced movement of people. Jarvis has also facilitated church-led peacemaking in South Sudan and Mozambique. Throughout it all, she’s seen nothing that compares to the power of people coming back together after conflict, and ultimately, coming back to faith through Jesus.

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.
