Summer Music --give Nancy Freeman a call, she has the summer schedule for Special music at church.  Summer music is a long time tradition at the church and is enjoyed by all, so call Nancy early and pick the best time for a date.

  We will also try something new this summer.  On a piece of paper write your favorite hymn down and place it in the collection plate.  Then once a month we will select one of those songs to be the special music for that day.  And the congregation will sing it during the time we have special music.

Malaria Update:  In 2013 the Ad Council accepted the challenge to become a “Barnabas Church” and raise $8,500.00 for the “No More Malaria” campaign  in the next three years. 

In 2013-14 we raised $6,001.00   In 2015 we have gave $1,276.00

DWIGHT WRITES:   Greetings -As I’ve shared before, mornings have long been a favorite time to reflect and write.  Here we are in the season where the summer mornings start early, giving lots of time to connect with the Holy.  I am grateful.  In this season of Pentecost we seek to be attentive to the ways in which the Spirit moves in our lives and throughout the life of the church.  I would like to share two Nestings with you in this space that I hope you find meaningful and helpful in your walk with God.  Might you be reminded of the ways that the Holy continues to reach out and touch your life - with texture, sound, light and breath.
Blessings, Pastor Dwight

The prayer shawl covers my shoulders.

The prayer shawl covers my shoulders
with its warm, gentle embrace.

The prayer shawl covers my shoulders
with its warm gentle embrace,
as I sit in the dawn’s emerging light.

The prayer shawl covers my shoulder
with its warm, gentle embrace.
As I sit in the dawn’s emerging light,
the Holy caresses me with the breath of morning sounds.

Dancing across the sky.
Dancing across the sky
are the rays of dawn.

Dancing across the sky
are the rays of dawn
weaving the air.

Dancing across the sky
are the rays of dawn
weaving the air
with bird songs.
