The St. Barnabas Window
Let us faithfully witness to the Risen Jesus, giving generously of our lives and substance for the relief of the poor and the sharing of the Gospel, bringing encouragement to all. (from the Collect for St. Barnabas Day)

Thursday Service
Summer break: No Thursday midweek services beginning June 24 - resume August 5
In consideration of viruses going around, the Diocese has issued the following directives:
• Use hand sanitizers regularly. Hand sanitizers are available in the Narthex of the church.
• If an individual feels uncomfortable exchanging the peace, a gentle bow to one’s neighbour suffices as a greeting.
Anglican liturgical tradition allows for receiving communion in one kind only. Therefore, if an individual chooses not to receive from the common cup, such action should be supported.
• Intinction (dipping the communion wafer in the wine) is always discouraged.
The Diocese has detailed information on their webpage about pandemic response: click here »
