A historic moment for the Church of England as Sarah Mullally is installed as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury, the first woman to serve in the role
In Loving Memory of Jan Jones Jan Jones was a longtime member of St. Barnabas and a dedicated presence in the Borrego community. As chief nurse practitioner at Borrego Clinic for many years, she cared for countless individuals, examining, diagnosing, and guiding them toward healing. She was truly a healer. Jan also shared her gifts within the church, singing in the choir and serving on the vestry. Even as her own health declined, she continued to care for others, including Wendy Quinn during her illness. We remember Jan for her warm smile, gentle humor, gracious spirit, and deep care for those around her. A memorial service will be scheduled and shared soon. May the Lord receive her into the communion of saints, and may her memory be eternal.
Palm Sunday Palm Sunday recalls the joyful parade of Jesus, seated on a donkey, into Jerusalem. This was a way of celebrating great warriors, heroes, leaders and when people shouted out Hosanna or hurray to the Son of David, Jesus, they were doing just that. It was also part of the celebration to wave branches of palm trees, flowers, perhaps even throw down clothing as a sign of regard for the one being welcomed. What a contrast this scene is to the Jesus who will do a servant’s work of washing feet at table, to the battered remnant of a man pushed along the road to be crucified. For a moment it seems Jesus is welcomed and loved by the people. So today we received palm branches that are blessed and hold them up as the gospel is read.
