Posada Wednesday
Night
Posada
is a Latin American celebration of the night of
the birth of Jesus. Pilgrims will travel
through the grounds of St. Barnabas to help the
Holy Family find a room for the night. At
the end of the journey, the pilgrims will have a
festive meal followed by fun and game.
Bring your favorite Mexican dish and
join us for a fun
evening.

Goodbye to the
Greenwoods
Rob Greenwood
recently returned after a 4 month tour of duty
in Korea. It was good to see Rob
again. However, with Rob's return he got a
"permanent change of station." For us
nonmilitary folks that means that the Greenwood
family has relocated. They are in their
new duty station, Charleston, S.C
We bid
a found farewell to Rob, Kristy, Kaitlin, Bryce
and Bryn.
O
God, whose fatherly care reacheth to the
uttermost parts of the earth: We humbly beseech
thee graciously to behold and bless those whom
we love, now absent from us. Defend them from
all dangers of soul and body; and grant that
both they and we, drawing nearer to thee, may be
bound together by thy love in the communion of
thy Holy Spirit, and in the fellowship of thy
saints; through Jesus Christ our
Lord.Amen

Notes.........
- Al-Anon is now
meeting at Saint Barnabas on Saturday afternoons
from 1:30-2:30, and they have asked for us to
keep clear the block of time from 1:00 PM until
3:00 PM. Please keep this in mind as you look to
schedule events at Saint Barnabas and when
leaving the parish hall after using it. With
many groups using our facilities we need to make
extra sure that everything is straight and in
order when we leave it
- Sunday school for
children will continue each Sunday at 11:00
a.m. The children join the church service during
the Peace and share their lesson with the adults
in church.
