10:00am: Eucharist with Music (Church School and Nursery available)

What to Expect

What are services like?
We offer two service options to suit your needs. Our Sunday services begin at 8:00 and 10:00 a.m. If you come to the 8:00 a.m. service, you’ll find a small but enthusiastic group of worshipers. The service at this hour closely mirrors the other two services; Holy Eucharist (Communion) is offered here, and the clergy typically delivers a sermon. The one thing you won’t experience at 8:00 a.m. is music. This is our “contemplative” service. At 10:00, you’ll find a larger crowd, including many families with children. Since day care and church school are provided during this service, those children typically spend the first half of the service in the undercroft, playing or doing crafts and learning stories from the Bible. They come up to the sanctuary to sit with their parents during Eucharist. The St. Barnabas Choir sings at this service, and we’re blessed to have nationally renowned keyboardist Michael Chertock accompanying them.

What is the community like?
"St. Barnabas is family, the people ... here are the salt of the earth…It’s a new, wonderful, pleasant experience every time I walk through that door."

What if I'm not a Christian?
Anyone can attend a St. Barnabas service. It is not necessary to be baptized an Episcopalian in order to worship at St. Barnabas, or to take advantage of the many parish activities and pastoral supports we offer. Anyone is welcome to attend our services, regardless of religion or creed. And, anyone baptized in the Christian faith is welcome to participate in the Holy Eucharist here.
