To participate in the Palm Sunday dramatic reading of the Passion, please contact Angela Wards or the office. Rehearsals are on March 22 after the 10:15 AM service and at 9:30 AM promptly on March 29, Palm Sunday. You will read from a script and costumes are not required! Thank you.

We traditionally prepare Easter baskets for our homebound parishioners. If you would like to participate in this ministry by organizing the project or by helping to prepare the baskets, please speak to Kersi or Marcus.

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.

Please join us for a soup lunch on March 15 after the 10:15 AM service in aid of Alongside Hope. This year we are having a Celtic theme.

The Lent book for 2026 is “A Different Kind of Fast: Feeding Our True Hungers in Lent” by Christine Valters Paintner. You may read independently or join the discussion over Zoom on March 16 at 7:00 PM.

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, and we pray for the Holy Spirit to accompany both the Alpha team and participants and to direct us as we journey together. Amen

Countless children and families have faced fear, loss, and displacement because of the ongoing war that’s happening in Ukraine. Voices of Children, a partner of Alongside Hope, is providing urgent support when it is needed most.

Through a 21-day therapeutic camp in the Carpathian mountains, children and their caregivers are given a safe place to rest and recover while feeling like kids again. Away from the sounds of war, trained therapists use art and conversation to help children talk about their experiences and begin the process of healing. This support is especially important right now.

As the war continues, the impacted children are carrying deep emotional pain. Without help, that trauma can last for years. By teaching simple coping skills and helping families reconnect, Voices of Children gives them hope, stability, and a path forward. In the middle of crisis and war, this care is making a real difference.

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.
