Supper Groups are forming – sign up by September 2 |
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.

| Thursday study resumes August 28 |
The Thursday Women’s Bible Study will resume on August 28, meeting from 9:30–11:30 a.m. in Wallace Hall. This fall, we’ll explore the women of the New Testament using Bible Women: All Their Words and Why They Matter by Lindsay Hardin Freeman (Expanded 2nd Edition, 2023), available in the bookstore and from other booksellers.
All women are welcome – no matter your stage of life, level of biblical knowledge, or amount of preparation. This multigenerational group gathers to reflect, discuss, and pray for one another and the world. For more information, contact Rose Wynne Brooks.
Childcare is available for children not yet in kindergarten with prior registration. To register, email Emily Newton. If you are interested in providing paid childcare, please also contact Emily.

Children's Formation Volunteers Needed |
The Children's Formation Team is looking for a few caring adults to help watch over and play with our kids in the gym while their parents attend church events. It’s a simple but meaningful way to serve our families and support our parish community.
If you’re available to volunteer for just one hour this Sunday or next, we would be so grateful for your presence.
Click here to sign up and be a blessing to our youngest parishioners!
🛠️ Also, do you enjoy woodworking, calligraphy, or sewing? The Children’s Formation Team has a few small, one-time projects and could use your skills as we prepare for the upcoming school year.
These are easy, low-commitment opportunities that won’t take much of your time, and you can do them at home—but will make a big impact on our ministry to children.
If you're willing to help in a small way, we'd love to hear from you! Email us at childrensformation@stbs.net and we can provide more details.

Jesus, you shared peace around a table of anxiety, peace in the face of the uncertain, peace in the place of pain. May we share tables of peace in places of pain, sharing food and friendship and words and life. Because you came to a fearful world and found your place around those tables. |
– Pádraig Ó Tuama, "Daily Prayer with the Corrymeela Community " |
