Our annual Stampede breakfast prepared by the 6^th St. Barnabas Scouts is on Sunday, July 5 following the 10:15 service.

On Sundays in July and August, coffee hour will continue on a sign-up basis, giving our regular coffee hosts a well-deserved rest. Please consider signing up to make coffee one Sunday this summer. The sign-up sheet will be in the narthex for the next few weeks. On two Sundays in July, no tables and chairs will be set up due to a temporary change in our cleaning schedule; you are welcome to use as many chairs and tables as you wish, however, we ask that you put them away on those occasions. Thank you!

Parishioner Kris Lowry is putting together a scrapbook to document the parish's experience of the pandemic for our archives. She is asking for written submissions, photos, drawings, poems, etc. Her email address is krislowry679@gmail.com. Please submit your reflections by July 15th.

The devastation continues in the wake of the deadly twin earthquakes that shook Venezuela, with the death toll mounting to at least 1,700 and nearly 3,000 injured. Rescue and recovery operations are continuing, amid dangerous conditions and aftershocks. Approximately 43,000 people are still missing.

In response to the crisis, the Government of Canada today announced it will match all donations made to the Humanitarian Coalition (HC) appeal between June 25 and July 14, up to $2 million. The HC comprises 12 leading Canadian aid agencies including the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, of which Alongside Hope is a member.

Alongside Hope is in regular contact with our partners the ACT Alliance, the Anglican Alliance and others who are assessing the situation and designing their response plans, which will focus on providing immediate relief by supporting families with food, shelter, household items and other basic needs. Venezuela was already facing economic hardship and struggling with the rising price of food. Nearly 8 million people were in need of humanitarian support. With this tragedy, millions more will be at greater risk of hunger. 

Sunday School resumes in September.

Our summer camp is full and we are no longer accepting registrations.

The following request for financial assistance is from a former parishioner who is battling two types of cancer. 

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. 

This service is on hiatus until on August 5.

Please contact the office so that we can stay in touch! Call Gloria at 403-283-3035 or email office@stbarnabas.ca
