We collected over 100 coats in November and December 2025 that were donated to the Portland Rescue Mission. Thanks everyone for helping our neighbors stay warm this winter.

Bring a picture of your favorite Saint or "saint" (someone you love who has died), and put it on the window sill in the church before the service on Sunday. This will help us remember our loved ones together and remember that when we worship we do so with "all the company of heaven." Also - remember to set your clocks back on Saturday night so you can have your extra hour of sleep!

Bishop Akiyama will gather with the congregation of St. Barnabas, Portland Oct. 30 at 6:30 p.m. to celebrate the new ministry of the Rev. Celeste Geldreich as Rector. All are invited to celebrate with the parish and enjoy refreshments after the service in Grafe Hall. See the service bulletin here . Zoom link here.

We are very pleased to announce with great joy and gratitude the Rev. Celeste Geldreich has been called to serve as the next Rector of St. Barnabas Episcopal Parish. Reverend Celeste comes to us from Good Shepherd in Kingwood, Texas (outside of Houston), bringing her deep faith, compassionate leadership, and a commitment to the Gospel. With a passion for preaching and pastoral care, she will be a wonderful shepherd to guide us in our next chapter of ministry and mission. Cel
