Stewardship
Work, pray, and give for the spread of the kingdom of God (BCP, p. 856)
Annual Giving Campaign
Our annual giving campaign kicks off this fall. We look forward to our conversations about the joy and rewards of giving to the church. Stewardship is "...our personal response to God's generosity in the way we share our resources of time, talent, and money. Stewardship reflects our commitment to making God's love known through the realities of human life, and our use of all that God has given us." (The Episcopal Church, https://www.episcopalchurch.org/)
Shop Amazon, Support St. Barnabas’ Episcopal Church
If you are planning to order from Amazon, without any change in your purchase price, you can benefit Saint Barnabas' Episcopal Church. The program is called Amazon Smile, and it automatically will send a portion of your purchase price to the registered non-profit of your choice--in this case, Saint Barnabas'. When you are ready to place an order, click on the Amazon icon above which will take you directly to Amazon. (You also can access the program through the icon on this website's home page.) Sign in using your regular username and password. Place your order as usual; your purchase will be registered automatically to benefit the mission and ministry of our parish.
Emergency Assistance
Funds for assistance are often, though not always, available from the Rector’s Discretionary Fund. Resources for the fund are provided by direct gifts, Vestry support through the budget, and gifts in thanksgiving for weddings, baptisms and burials, and for special events such as a new job, new home, or the birth of a child. We try to keep a supply of grocery cards for those in need.
