WE’RE ANCIENT AND NEWThe faith we hold is ancient, going back to Jesus, back to his spiritual ancestors, back to those who walked the earth and found holy ground. And what we do is often based on really ancient patterns—worship and music; loving service to the poor, the hurting, the lonely; working for justice and peace; lively, fearless education and formation of minds and souls. And that faith is also completely contemporary, engaged in the culture and the needs of the moment.
WHAT WE’RE FORThe dignity and worth of every person. An open-minded, passionate commitment to truth. The importance of everyone’s own spiritual journey. God’s friends wherever we find them. Seeking Christ in every person who comes through the door. The sacredness of life’s rites of passage. The value of community. The hard work necessary to make sure that all are welcomed. Telling the truth about life’s challenges. A “user-friendly” church experience. Children and families.
WHAT WE’RE AGAINSTClaiming to have all the answers. Elitism and exclusivism, especially in church. Bigotry for any reason. Authoritarianism. Indifference to injustice and suffering. Certitude in the face of ambiguity and superficial answers to hard questions. Boring sermons, bad music and general cluelessness. (So, God help us, because we don’t always avoid them!)
WHAT WE VALUECommunity, open hearts, open minds, open arms. Faith. Fortitude. Staying current, but equally staying rooted in tradition. Reason and honesty. Civic responsibility as New Yorkers, Americans and global citizens. Debate that allows for mutual respect. Music and beauty for their own sake. Joy in God’s creation. Anyone who makes an effort to get to know and follow Jesus.
EASTER DAYAPRIL 16, 2017
WELCOME!The joy of Easter surrounds us today. We don’t claim to understand it all, but we proclaim this as our most important day, a day when we as a group of God’s people proclaim with conviction what we hold to be most true: that life and God are bigger than we can hope or imagine
and that somehow death is never the final chapter.
The flowers and music that brighten our sacred space are given by the special donations you make—as memorials or thanksgivings for friends,
family, the church community and others. Thank you!
SUPPORTING ST. BART’S
St. Bart’s depends on the time, talent and treasure of our members to keep the doors of this magnificent space open 365 days a year. Thank you for all that you have done and all that you continue to do.
The annual Stewardship Campaign is “church speak” for St. Bart’s annual fund which accounts for over 60% of the current year’s operating budget. Support of the annual Stewardship Campaign allows for us to continue our vital programs and ministries, and, therefore, supports a little bit of everything—from building maintenance to bible studies. Learn more at stbarts.org/giving.
