St. Barnabas' Anglican Church
Parish Groups

ACW

The Anglican Church Women at St. Barnabas' Church have two
groups.

The Pollyanna A.C.W. meet the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7
pm in the lounge. They do several outreach programs and have a
wonderful baked goods table at the bazaar. They sponsor a couple
of lunches during the year. Ann Archer is the new president of the
Pollyanna's.

The other group is the Friendship Circle A.C.W. that meet the second
Tuesday of the month from 7-9 p.m. In the fall they make crafts to be
sold at the Snowflake Bazaar. They sponsor some lunches and other
activities during the year. Mary Jane Winterton is the president of the
Friendship Circle.

The two groups meet occasionally to co-ordinate their program.
They have sent bales to Keewatin, sponsored a Foster child for
years, and do funeral lunches when asked.

If you are interested in joining one of our groups, please contact us or
come out on a Tuesday or Wednesday night and join us in the Lounge!

BAC

The Brotherhood of Anglican Churchmen (BAC) has been a long-standing social
and sometimes work orientated organization in St. Barnabas' parish. The
continuing activity is an 8 o’clock breakfast meeting on the second Sunday of the
month, prepared by a small group of volunteer BAC men.

This year, ladies of the parish have been invited to the breakfast so that it has
become essentially a parish monthly event, enjoyed by everybody. Breakfast is
served at 8 a.m. and cleanup is finished before the 9:15 weekly church service.
Occasionally, a ten-minute presentation by a local expert or organizer adds to the
occasion. BAC men are often recruited or volunteer to help with parish jobs or
activities, for example the Saturday Lunch at the annual Bazaar and the Good
Friday Fish Fry.

The parish BAC chapter belongs to the Diocese of Huron BAC (www.bac.
diohuron.org) that sponsors the annual BAC Conference, this year to be held in
Windsor from April 29 to May 1, 2011.

Join us next on Sunday, Feb 13th, 2011 at 8 am. All are welcome to come!
Don't forget to bring your sweetheart!

Altar Guild

The Altar Guild is the group responsible for setting up
the Altars for all church services.

They work hard each week to ensure that the church
and Altar look beautiful and that flowers are always
present. The Altar Guild also takes on the task of
making the palm crosses for Palm Sunday, and making
the Christingle's for the special Christmas service.

New members are always welcome! Contact us for
more information.
