Collect for the Week
Almighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious Majesty to judge both the quick and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, now and ever. Amen.

Sunday Mornings at St. Bartholomew’s
Worship. We gather every Sunday morning at 10:00 am for Morning Prayer and the Holy Communion. Evening Prayer is also offered on Sundays at 4:00 pm. Our traditional liturgy is Christ-centered, grounded in the prayers and music of the early Church and the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.
Education. Nursery Care and Sunday School open at 9:50 am in the Leen Center across the walkway from the church entrance. Children return to their families at Communion time.
Fellowship. Immediately following the 10:00 am Liturgy we gather downstairs in the Parish Hall for coffee, a delicious lunch and good conversation. Everyone is welcome.
