Have you ever wanted to try out singing in the choir? 

Now through Sunday August 17th, you can simply show up on Sunday mornings at 9:45 and join in singing with the summer choir. 

We'll lead the congregational

hymns and prepare a simple choral piece each week. 

During the summer, things are more informal: we don't have a Wednesday rehearsal and we also don't wear choir robes. It's a simple way to try out singing with us! 

We'd love to welcome you. 

If you have any questions, please email Director of Music and Organist Stephen

Frketic here.

We’re excited to invite you to take part in a living expression of our shared faith, gifts, and service. 

The Stewardship Tree is an interactive display that grows leaf by leaf as we name the many ways we give of ourselves to

our church and the world. 

Each leaf represents a beloved member of our community and the unique ways they offer their time, energy, and care.

Here’s how it works: 

Simply write your name on one side of a leaf and list the ministries, activities, or acts of service you’re part of on the other.

As the weeks go by, our tree will grow with the richness of our collective offerings. Whether you serve on a ministry, bring snacks for coffee hour, volunteer at the food bank, offer prayers at home, or even bring your compost to the garden—every act of love counts. Let’s fill the branches

with gratitude, presence, and joy. Every leaf is a testament to how we embody the heart of St. Bart’s. 

Come add your leaf!
