Join us for worship as we celebrate the seasons of Advent and Christmas.

On Saturday, December 17th at 7:00 p.m., join us for a Festival of Lessons and Carols. The event features choir, chamber orchestra, and carols for everyone to sing.  We look forward to seeing you there!

Our Christmas Eve service will be at 7:00 p.m. on December 24th. Bring the whole family for a beautiful evening of worship and song, including candle lighting.

Because Christmas falls on a Sunday, we will also have a quiet service (with no musical accompaniment) at 9:00 on Christmas morning.

Sunday, December 12th—The Greening of the Church
After the 10:00 service, we will decorate the church for the holiday season. Plan to help out!

Sunday, December 19^th—Lessons and Carols
St. Barnabas will host its 5th Annual Advent Festival of Lessons and Carols at 6:30 p.m. The service will feature readings and lots of music. Our church choir and guest singers will be accompanied by a string quartet, flute, and recorder group.  Please plan on coming and enriching your Advent season with the Word and music.

Tuesday, December 21st—a Service of the Longest Night
At 7:00 p.m. at the United Methodist Church, Glenwood Springs, the pastors of the Episcopal, Mennonite, Methodist, and Lutheran churches will offer a “Longest Night Service,” an interfaith gathering that will include prayer, meditation, silence, and a candle lighting ceremony making space during the Christmas season for those living with grief, loss, separation, or illness that can be especially overwhelming at this time of year.  The pastors will be available for private prayer and anointing.

All are welcome.

Friday, December 24^th—Christmas Eve Service for the whole family
Join us at 7:00 p.m. for a traditional Christmas Eve Service with candle lighting.

On October 30th at 7:30 p.m., our church will host a performance by the Aspen-Glenwood Choral Society and the Mesa State College Faculty Brass Quintet. The Choral Society will present Antonio Vivaldi’s Gloria. The Brass Quintet will play a selection of Baroque music.

Saint Barnabas Church has long been known for its excellent acoustics. We are pleased to offer our space for a community concert. Please come! Admission is $15.00 at the door. Children under 12 will be admitted for free, but any donation is welcome.

Choral singing returns to Saint Barnabas in September!  On September 12th, the Sounds of Praise choir will sing during our 10:00 a.m. service. On September 19th, the Saint Barnabas choir returns from its summer recess. Also on September 19th, Shannon Foster will sing a solo piece during the offertory.

We look forward to the beautiful voices that will soon fill our sanctuary on Sunday mornings.

Music Director Karen Tafejian invites any and all persons who are interested in singing in the choir at St. Barnabas to get in touch with her at 963-3930.

Choir rehearsals are weekly and will begin on Thursday, Sept. 9th at 6:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. The choir usually meets at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday mornings before the service for warmups.

To kick off our fall season, the choir will be having a Meet & Eat on Saturday, September 4th around 5:00 p.m. at the home of Tom Fleming. If you’re interested, we’d love to have you  attend.  Please contact Karen soon so she can get you on board.

Come and add your voice to the support of worship!
