Committees
How Will You Be Involved In Your Church?

Opportunities abound for new involvement and continuing involvement on one of our many church committees. Your attendance and stewardship make our church the welcoming,
thriving, and exciting church it is. This is an opportunity for you to share your talents
with others, and to meet and work with some people you may not know well.

Listed below are committees and the committee
chairs. Please contact  the chair for meeting dates and times, and for any further information.

Auction Committee
The auction committee promotes the church's major fun-raising activity.  The "offering and purchasing" of  non-tangible items include dinners, hikes, book discussions, game nights etc  We have a short burst of activity around auction time. From November on we meet one evening a month until the actual auction.We want new people with new ideas! To volunteer, contact
co-chairs, Karen Hoffman and Ravel Richardson.

Altar Guild
Taking care of the altar is a long-time honored tradition at St. Barnabas. Volunteers make a meaningful contrubuiton to the sacramental life of the church by caring for the linens, communion vessels, and candle.  Members work in teams one week a month. The time commitment is minimal and you have the satisfaction of
knowing that you are making a direct contribution to the services. To volunteer for this key committee, contact chair, Rhondda Grant.

Communications Committee
This committee’s work is two- fold: (1) To increase the image and awareness of St.
Barnabas in the larger community (Capitol Hill and Episcopal community), and (2) to help
parishioners connect with programs and activities at St. Barnabas. The Communications Committee also publishes the Steeple Bell and maintains the website and bulletin boards.  If you enjoy writing or are artistic, this is the committee for you.  Contact Timothy Hepp or Mary Kelly O'Donnell, co-chairs, for more information.

Finance Committee
This committee oversees the finances of the church, and keeps us on track with the budget.
If you like working with numbers, call chair, Judy Ward.

Liturgy Committee
The liturgy for each season of the church year is discussed and planned in advance.  To participate, please contact the Rev. Deb Angell.

Newcomers Committee
Committee members greet newcomers and assist them in becoming a part of the church community. For more information, contact vestry liaison, Karen Esten.

Outreach Committee
One of their big events each year is the Alternative Market held during Advent season.
You can make a donation in the name of a family member or friend to one of the non-profit agencies represented at the market such as Gathering Place, St. Francis Center, Urban Peak, Family Homestead etc.  A gift card from the Alternative Market is the perfect gift for those who have everything.
 
Renovation and Restoration Committee
The Restoration Committee was put on hold in 2007 and expects to resume when the new Rector comes on board in March, 2008.  For more information, contact chair, Larry Volmert.

Share The Care
