The following information is available for St. Barnabas Episcopal Church:
We are a church in the Episcopal-Anglican tradition whose mission is to bring the mercy of Jesus to the world.
We are a Christian community that is focused on Jesus Christ, centered in worship and prayer, and committed to participating in God’s mission of reconciliation in the world. We are an Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Chicago and members of the Worldwide Anglican Communion. We live out our mission in several ways. • We seek to bear witness in word and action to the mercy of God revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. • We seek to observe spiritual practices that make space in our hearts for more of God’s mercy and enable us to better live that mercy with others. • We seek to be agents of that mercy to a hurting world. We embody that mercy as a community of generous orthodoxy. • We are an interesting mix of people. Some of us are “cradle Episcopalians” while other of us grew up in other Christian traditions or unchurched. We have Evangelicals, High Church/Catholics, Liberals, and Charismatics. We include Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Some of us are more or less committed to Christian nonviolence and others of us are more or less supportive of the possibility of a just war. We have people all over the map on any number of contentious issues. In spite of these differences, we are bound together by the Holy Spirit and seek to live as members of one another on a community of mercy. We are bound together by: • a shared commitment to the basic faith of the Christian creed. • a determination to wrestle with scripture together • a common desire to worship God in the beauty of holiness • a mutual desire to be drawn deeper into God's life through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit As someone here once said, "Some of us see it this way. Some of us see it that way. But we bring it all together at the foot of the cross.” Of course, at the foot of the cross we are all challenged by the transforming forgiveness, healing, and teaching we know through Jesus. All are welcome. All will be encouraged. All will be challenged. All will be transformed by the power of the Holy Spirit. If you are in the area, we would be glad to have you join us.

Here is more from the Thy Kingdom Come website. Let's join together with Christians worldwide to prayer for our community, our friends, neighbors, and family, and the world. During the 11 days of Thy Kingdom Come, it is hoped that everyone who takes part will Deepen their relationship with Jesus Christ Pray for God’s spirit to work in the lives of those they know Come to realise that every aspect of their life is the stuff of prayer After the very first Ascension Day the disciples gathered with Mary, constantly devoting themselves to prayer while they waited for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. Like them, our reliance on the gift of the Holy Spirit is total – on our own we can do nothing. Through the centuries Christians have gathered at that time to pray for the coming of the Holy Spirit. ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ picks up this tradition. Over the past three years more and more worshipping communities have dedicated the days between Ascension and Pentecost to pray ‘Come Holy Spirit’. We are praying that the Spirit would inspire and equip us to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with our friends and families, our communities and networks. It has been amazing how many varied ways there have been in which people from every tradition have taken up this challenge. The effects have been remarkable. It is our prayer that those who have not yet heard the Good News of Jesus Christ and his love for the world will hear it for themselves, and respond and follow Him. Specifically, we again invite each and every Christian across the country to pray that God’s Spirit might work in the lives of 5 friends who have not responded with their ‘Yes’ to God’s call. Whether you have joined in ‘Thy Kingdom Come’ before or not, we invite you to take part this year – along with churches from over 65 different denominations in 114 countries around the world. "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses …to the ends of the earth. When he had said this…he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight…Then they returned to Jerusalem … and were constantly devoting themselves to prayer… When the day of Pentecost had come they were all together in one place... All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit... and that day about three thousand persons were added." Acts 1, 2 “In praying 'Thy Kingdom Come' we all commit to playing our part in the renewal of the nations and the transformation of communities." Archbishop Justin Welby #ThyKingdomCome #Pledge2Pray
Today's video for Thy Kingdom Come. A short, very short, course on Jesus from the inimitable Bp. N. T. Wright.
In case you missed it, the Archbishop of Canterbury has been promoting a world-wide prayer event called, Thy Kingdom Come. It is an intentional 11 days of prayer between Ascension (today) and Pentecost for the Spirit to descend upon the church and revitalize it. As he says, let us light up the world in prayer. I invite you to join me. Each day there will be a video from the C of E and specific prayer emphases which I will post here on our Facebook page. Every day for 11 days. Let's unite with Christians around the world and pray for Christ's church. https://www.thykingdomcome.glo bal/?fbclid=IwAR3HurA9wz5cvdHDZD5Ytb3z9dLPuX_8C0Cm-9PNaF32kiN_Vq0CrpIdmbM#Pledge2PrayCounter
A new post for the Shepherdess. The second in our series at St. Barnabas about "Questions Our Kids Are Asking."
A good reminder.
This weekend is our annual benefit concert for a medical clinic in Renk, South Sudan. Please take a minute to watch this little slide show we put together. https://player.vimeo.com/video/332551097
Imagine how much life would change.
As we approach the Vigil this evening, and the celebration of the Lord's Resurrection tomorrow it is good that we remember how connected we remain to "our mother the synagogue." (The designation is from St. Bernard of Clairvaux.)
Join us tomorrow for a solemn celebration of Maundy Thursday. It is one of the most powerful services of the Christian year. Foot Washing, Holy Eucharist, and Stripping of the Altar all in the context of Jesus' last meal with his disciples and his betrayal the same night. 7:00 PM

Along with growing in our faith together and having fun, the youth group here at St. Barnabas also has a musical identity. On Wednesday evenings, Cathy Kuna offers the students ongoing opportunities to be involved with sacred music at St. Barnabas as well as deepen their faith by understanding and interacting with the texts of music. They have been enjoying working on and sharing music as part of worship with the congregation throughout this year. Over the course of the last couple of months, the group has taken on the task of writing and composing an original song which they shared with the congregation at the 10:30am service last Sunday. The students began the process by meditating on the meaning of Easter in their own lives. They used different writing techniques such as brainstorming and creating Haiku poems to put their thoughts on paper. An early inspiration in their process was the discovery of a chord progression that sounded like the joy they were attempting to express. Their original song “From Dusk to Dawn” expresses a very personal and poetic take on Easter. They are excited to share their song with you, and have been hoping and praying that you will be blessed and led deeper into your worship of our risen Christ by hearing it.
Today's sermon, on this the Second Sunday of Easter, by the Rev'd Dr. Frederick
Happy Easter!
