Worship at St Barnabas
|
Worship at St Barnabas is rooted in the Episcopal/Anglican traditions. Our weekly Eucharist (every Sunday at 9:30 a.m.) generally follows Rite 2 from the Book of Common Prayer as supplemented by the Supplemental Liturgical Materials (SLM). We celebrate this in the sanctuary every Sunday and certain Holy Day from September/October through Early June. From October through June we are privileged to have an inspired organist to lead our musical celebration.

Along with our Rector, Fr. David Madsen, we are blessed to have two gifted retired priests as members of our Congregation: Father George Keith (year round) and Father Michael Plekon (November through May).
We also enjoy having special services including Lessons and Carols on Christmas Eve, a procession from the palapa to the church on Palm Sunday, and, during Holy Week, we have the traditional services culminating in the Easter Vigil. On Easter Day, there is a widely attended ecumenical Easter Sunrise service on the hill behind the Methodist Church after which we have a simple communion service at our church as well as the regular 9:30 service.
The Sunday service is also available by Zoom for those who are unable to join us in person for whatever reason, from being away for the season to physical inability to make it to church or simple choice. This virtual service is particularly important to St Barnabas as we seek to keep our seasonal parishioners connected to St Barnabas during their time away from Borrego.
Fellowship follows each Sunday service with refreshments provided by parishioners. This is an opportunity to get to know some of the members of St. Barnabas and to welcome visitors. We take great pride in trying to make newcomers feel welcome.
