Sunday School

Bible instruction for children up to 6th Grade.

Sunday School Superintendent: Sheila Daley

Thanks to the completion of the renovation project, we now have three fine classrooms upstairs as well as the downstairs spaces.

 If you would like to help with Sunday School as a teacher, aide or with the children’s library, or with special events, please contact Sheila Daley.  Extra help is always appreciated and no one is expected to teach every Sunday.  

Those in 7th and 8th Grades are welcome to serve as ushers, greeters, lectors, acolytes, coffee hour assistants, Sunday School or Nursery aides, or simply worshipping in the church.  

DEDICATION OF THE RENOVATION WAS SEPTEMBER 24, 2006!

After many, many hours of hard and skilled work, we completed “Habitat for St. Barnabas” in late Spring, with a new ceiling and lighting system in the Fellowship Room, and three completely new rooms upstairs where the old sanctuary was.  All three rooms will be used as classrooms on Sunday mornings for our Sunday School, and the room furthest away from the office will also serve as a quiet Prayer Room, and as the headquarters for the parish library (parts of which will also be on rolling racks in classrooms on each floor).  The Parish Office and Fr. Hubbard’s office received their first new carpeting in decades, and new office furniture as well.

We dedicated the renovations as the finale of the 10:30 service on Sunday September 24, including giving thanks for the 20 parishioners who helped out, without whom this project (literally) could not have been attempted. (No way could we have afforded to have all the work done by contractors.)  We give special thanks to Paul Pospiech (Project Coordinator) and to Gene Sanfilippo.  We also give thanks for all whose financial generosity has made and is making it possible to have these beautiful spaces.  (We have a loan from our Diocese of New Jersey we continue to pay off.)
