Regular Groups, Ministries and Activities

Men’s Group

Come and join the men of St. Barnabas at 6 PM on the third Wednesday of every month. Each meeting begins with The Office of Evening Prayer and is followed by dinner, fellowship, and discussions which have covered a great range of subject matter from ancient liturgy and theology to current cultural trends, science and spirituality.

                The Men’s Group regularly serves at a homeless shelter in downtown Atlanta, prepares the annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper, and assists the Events Committee when needed. You will find the Men’s Group enjoys coming together to complete parish construction projects, attend sporting events, and perfect the art of the bar-be-que. 

Anglican Church Women’s Group

Come and join the Anglican Church Women’s group at 11:30AM on the first Tuesday of every month. Each meeting begins with the Office of Morning Prayer and is followed by warm fellowship and a BYOLuncheon. The Anglican Church Women lead the annual Christmas “Adopt a Family” program which benefits suffering families in the area, and they frequently organize fundraising events for the needs of the parish.  The ACW plays an important role in the life of St. Barnabas, as they accomplish numerous behind the scenes projects that keep the parish functioning smoothly. 

Work days

Put your work gloves on and come help keep St. Barnabas beautiful at 10AM on the second Saturday of every month. On these special days, faithful members of St. Barnabas unite for a “work party” and come ready to paint, vacuum, dust, change light bulbs, and generally care for great blessing of our building and grounds. Led by the Junior Warden, parish work party volunteers play an important role in the stewardship of God’s gifts.

Altar Guild

Members of the Altar Guild serve St. Barnabas in an especially important calling as they care for the preparation and cleansing of the sacred items of the altar. Charged with carefully tending to both the high altar and the chapel altar, these special members of the parish help set a tone of reverence and wonder within our parish which traditional Anglicans have cherished in Christian worship for centuries.

Winer’s and Diners

Bring a plate of hors d’ouvres and a bottle of your favorite wine at 6 PM on the second Wednesday night of every month to join the parish for a classy night of warm fellowship. Both the astute wine connoisseur and the every-day table wine enthusiast (and anyone else for that matter!) are welcome to attend St. Barnabas’ monthly wine tasting. While there you will also enjoying some of our parish's finest home cooking and most engaging conversation.

Night at the Movies

Come and join St. Barnabas at 6 PM on the fourth Friday of every month for fellowship, popcorn, drinks and a movie!  Movie night goers enjoy each other’s company both in conversation and in the glow of the movie screen as St Barnabas views a wide variety of popular modern and classic films. Note: No child care is provided on movie nights and films are generally selected with adults in mind.

Youth Group

New in 2010 is the St. Barnabas youth group.  The youth group will aim to volunteer at various ministries in the community, spend time together in fellowship, and creatively serve the parish in any way needed.

Wednesday Bible Studies

Bring your Bible and your questions to St. Barnabas at 11AM every Wednesday morning for an informative study and discussion of Holy Scriptures. Led by Bishop Chad, this weekly hour takes a close look into God’s Word and provides tools for understanding His revelation.

Thursday Night Enquirer’s Class
