Join us each Sunday at 9 - 9:45 AM for the new Rector’s Forum, an educational gathering in the Parish Hall with coffee provided.

This September, Father Ethan will lead a guided tour of our Liturgy of Holy Communion, exploring specific prayers and the reasons behind our worship practices. Many find that understanding the words and meaning behind the prayers helps deepen their connection to Sunday worship. Childcare is offered during the forum for all ages.

Everyone is welcome to join — come learn, ask questions, and grow in faith together!

Join us each Sunday for our principal celebration of Holy Communion (also known as the Holy Eucharist), featuring choir, contemporary language, and a welcoming worship experience. The service includes scripture readings, prayer, music, a meaningful sermon, and the sharing of Holy Communion.

Sunday School is offered for all ages during worship, providing age-appropriate formation for children, youth, and adults.

After the service, gather in the Parish Hall for fellowship and refreshments—a chance to connect, build relationships, and feel at home in our community. Whether you're visiting for the first time or have been here for years, all are welcome.

🌿 St. Bart’s Garden Club

“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.” — 1 Corinthians 3:6

Join us as we dig in—literally and spiritually! The St. Bart’s Garden Club meets on the 2nd Saturday of every month at 9:00 AM, working together to care for the beautiful grounds of our church campus.

Whether you're an experienced gardener or just enjoy being outside, everyone is welcome. We’ll trim, plant, edge, weed, and beautify — all while enjoying fellowship and fresh air. Come ready to work and bring along tools, gloves, and a heart ready to serve.

This is more than landscaping — it's a ministry of stewardship, service, and growth. Just as Paul reminded the early church, we plant and water, but God gives the growth.

📍Location: Around the St. Barts’s campus

Let’s grow something beautiful — together.

Open to anyone interested in observing the work of the vestry.

The vestry is the elected leadership body of the parish, entrusted with the stewardship of our mission, property, and finances. Attending a meeting is a meaningful way to witness how church leadership serves the life and ministry of the congregation.

This month’s ministry area presentation will focus on Pastoral Care. There will also be updates from Communications, the adoption of the 2025 budget, and an announcement that nominations for new vestry members are now open.

The meeting will be held in the Parish Hall.
