Carpenter's Kids Message Board
Global Concerns Update: Our Carpenter's Kids linked parishes of Kikombo and Wilunze in Tanzania have posted notes to our parish on the Carpenter's Kids online message board. The Global Concerns Committee will continue to monitor the message board and provide communications from our partner parishes whenever we receive them. We also post messages of encouragement, prayer and support to our partner parishes on a monthly basis.

The Global Concerns Committee

The Global Concerns committee is a group of St. Barnabas parishioners who are looking at ways to get our parish more involved in the Episcopal Church's global mission.  The Church has become increasingly focused on combating extreme poverty in the developing world, through the Millennium Development Goals framework.  With the support of the clergy and vestry, our committee formed to bring forward opportunities to engage with that mission in addition to the other wonderful outreach work that this church does.  For more information on the activities of the Global Concerns committee, please contact Jeanne-Marie Baron at (914) 478-0604, jmbaron6@optonline.net, or Natalie Moore at (914) 693-6086, nmooredf@optonline.net.
