| Changes in Children's Formation Leadership |
As Meredith Flynn concludes her time as Director of Children and Family Formation, we're grateful for her faithful leadership and the lasting impact she's made on our community. Stepping into this important role are two familiar faces: Matthew Sullivan and Sarah Benfield. Together with our full-time staff, they will help guide and nurture the faith journey of the youngest members of the St. B’s family through meaningful fellowship and educational opportunities. Stay tuned for more details coming this summer!

| Certified Wildlife Habitat |
St. B's is now a Certified Wildlife Habitat! This certification is part of our A Rocha Churches of Restoration Creation Care action step. It is our phase one of attaining Sacred Grounds designation that links creating wildlife habitat with spiritual formation and caring for the environment. The two copper birdbaths in the courtyard were added to provide an additional source of water for birds, and native plants will be added later this Spring around the Sanctuary and near the Rectory where we removed the invasive growth. Special thanks to Gretchen Abernathy and Mary Bonnell, our A Rocha Intern, for spearheading this effort.
