Our September 2020 Calendar
Please email Fr. Gregory at the link below to schedule attending services. A link to our Facebook Page has been provided as well.
Our August 2020 Calendar
Here is our August 2020 Calendar. This month we are still limited to 15 people in attendance at any of our services. This is usually not a problem for Vespers on Wednesdays. For Sunday Services, and this month, the Vesperal Divine Liturgy on the 5th and Orthros / Liturgy on the 15th, you still need to email Fr. Gregory at FGRogers@aol.com to let him know you would like to attend. You are strongly encouraged to do this, especially if you haven’t attended in a while. Many of the people who have attended several of the recent services are more than willing to stay at home so that others may attend in person. So please let Fr. Gregory know if you want to attend and he will coordinate the attendees. We will continue to Live Sream all of our services on our Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/St-Barnabas-Orthodox-Church-111445435557141
OUR JULY 2020 CALENDAR
Even though the pandemic is not over, we thought we would start sending a Monthly Calendar again. At this time, and until further notice, we are still limited to 15 people in attendance at any of our services. This is usually not a problem for Vespers on Wednesdays or the Akathist Service on the second Saturday of the month. For Sunday Services, you still need to email Fr. Gregory at FGRogers@aol.com to let him know you would like to attend. You are strongly encouraged to do this, especially if you haven’t attended in a while. Many of the people who have attended several of the recent services are more than willing to stay at home so that others may attend in person. So please let Fr. Gregory know if you want to attend and he will coordinate the attendees. We will continue to Live Sream all of our services on our Facebook Page at https://www.facebook.com/St-Barnabas-Orthodox-Church-111445435557141
A Message From Fr. Gregory - June 5, 2020.
Beloved Brethren,
This Sunday, June 7, is Pentecost Sunday, the celebration of the Descent of the Holy Spirit upon the Church. We will celebrate the feast with the Divine Liturgy at 10:00 AM, followed by the Kneeling Prayers of Pentecost Sunday.
Bishop Nicholas is allowing us to have up to 33% of the capacity of the church attend services, so that will allow us to have 15 people at liturgy on Sunday. We want to give everyone an opportunity to come, and still maintain the appropriate guidelines for 'social distancing'. If you plan to attend, please let me know by email at FGRogers@aol.com.
For those who cannot attend for whatever reason, we will be livestreaming the services on the St. Barnabas Orthodox Church Facebook page, beginning with Matins at 9:00 AM.
Also, next Wednesday, June 10, we will celebrate St. Barnabas' Day with the Vesperal Divine Liturgy at 6:45 PM. This is our patronal feast day. Unfortunately, we will not be able to have our usual celebratory carry-in dinner at this time, but we will pray and worship together, nonetheless. Again, please let me know that you plan to attend. There usually is enough room on Wednesdays for anyone who want to come.
We love you all, and hope to see you soon! You are all in our prayers!
Love in Christ,
Fr. Gregory
