Donations for The Branch
Given the increased need of local food pantries, St. B's is collecting much-needed items for The Branch. Their most crucial needs right now are:
rice, pasta, tomato sauce, canned vegetables, canned tuna, peanut butter, cereal and cooking oil (preferably in half-gallon size).
Items can be dropped off in the marked bins in the lobby. Thank you!

Join a Small Group
Small groups at St. B's are intentional communities created to build connection and foster spiritual formation. This fall we'll be offering the following groups:
🧑🏻🤝🧑🏿 Women's & Men's Small Groups
These groups meet for 8-9 weeks with meeting time to be determined by group schedule. These groups will share their faith stories and begin to explore spiritual practices through The Way of Love curriculum. These groups will be limited to 8-10 participants each and begin in late September/early October.
⛪ All Ages and Stages Small Group
Shannon and Jason Truss will be leading a small group focused on building community and deepening your spiritual life (most) Monday nights at 6:30 p.m. at St. B's. This group is open to all and people from all ages and stages of life are welcome to join. The group will be limited to 12 members and begin September 22.
🙏 Centering Prayer Small Group
Centering Prayer is a receptive method of Christian silent prayer which deepens our relationship with God. This group will meet on Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. at St. B's and last for a little over an hour. This group will be facilitated by Lee Shaw and begin September 23.
Please sign-up for a small group here no later than Friday, September 19. If you have any questions, please email Rev. Heather.
Share a Story and a Meal
We are again forming Supper Groups at St. B’s for the Fall! Supper Groups are co-ed, social gatherings composed of approximately four households that will meet 3-4 times during the fall months before rotating to new groups. We are offering three types of groups: adults meeting at homes, families meeting at homes, and adults gathering at restaurants.
Please complete this form to express your interest by September 2. Groups will be formed by mid-September to allow for a late September gathering. For questions, contact Anne & David Walker or Kathy & Tom Patten.
