St. Barnabas is pleased to share with you photographs of of St. Mary Episcopal Church located in Charlesville, Lower Margibi County. The walls are still strong but trees have grown in it. There are abandoned graves in the surrounding. There is a need for rehabilitation to allow community dwellers worship in. We are thankful to God for the St. Barnabas leadership for the thought to look in the direction of St. Mary. Please give us your support. Thank you

My beloved of Cyprus,

In December of 2007, when I took over as your priest-in-charge, I told you that I was walking through a corridor. This corridor has come to an end. With a heart filled with mixed emotions, allow me to express my deep gratitude and affection as I prepare to embark on a new journey as a priest. It is with a sense of both sadness and excitement that my family and I bid farewell to our beloved community of St. Barnabas on the Field Episcopal Church, which has been our home for the past seventeen years.

As my family and I reflect upon our time here, we can not help but be overwhelmed by the countless blessings and graces that God has bestowed upon us. Each day, we have witnessed the power of faith and the transformative love of our Lord working through the lives of each one of you. Your unwavering commitment to your faith has been an inspiration to us, and we are truly grateful for the opportunity to have served you.

Throughout our time here, your prayers were a source of immense strength and support. The knowledge that we have been lifted up in prayer by this community has sustained us through the joys and challenges of my ministry. Your prayers have been a reminder that we are all interconnected, united in our faith, through Jesus Christ, following the example of blessed Barnabas.

We are immensely grateful for the trust you placed in me during the most intimate moments of our being together. It has been an honor and a privilege to celebrate the sacraments with you, to witness the baptism of your children, to bless your marriages, and to accompany you in times of grief and loss. These sacred moments have deepened my own faith and have enriched my faith in the profound love that God has for each of us.

As I prepare to take on new responsibilities along with my family in a new corridor, I carry with me the memories and experiences I have shared with you. You have carved my heart with love, my family and I will forever cherish the relationships we have formed and the moments we have shared.

Let us continue to support and pray for one another, even as our paths diverge. I have no doubt that this community will continue to grow in faith, love, and service, guided by the Holy Spirit. As I move forward, please know that you will remain in my prayers, and I humbly ask for your prayers as well, that God may grant me the strength and wisdom to shepherd the new flock entrusted to my care. The support I never received from you, if there was any, kindly give it to my successor. He has come with enthusiasm and love for you.

Please note that no matter the distance that separates us, God will continue to unite us through Jesus Christ, as we shared in His blood.

Finally, as we leave you, our beloved Barnabas was energized by the ministry opportunities the Spirit summoned him to undertake. In the same way, ministering to others in the power of the Spirit need not be a source of drudgery for us. The Spirit can fill us with joy, particularly as we see the grace of God at work among the saved and unsaved around us. I pray that you continue to grow in faith and make this my beloved community a place of oneness.

To you Margaret, my wife, Theodore, Daniel, Nathalane, Amos, Martha, and Ernest, this journey wouldn't have been possible without your support. I owe you a deep gratitude.

Blessings, my beloved; you will remain in my thoughts, love, and prayers, Amen!!!

Deuteronomy 5:6-21
Psalm 81 or 81:1-10
2 Corinthians 4:5-12
Mark 2:23-28

Good morning, and welcome to another Sunday of praise and thanksgiving to God, on this second Sunday after Pentecost, Proper Four, to the glory of God.
Our text for today underscores conflict with the Sabbath. It began while Jesus and His disciples were walking through a grain field on a Sabbath. They plucked grain to eat. The Pharisees question Jesus; “why are His disciples doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath (Mark 2:23-24)?” In response Jesus gave an analogy of David entering the tabernacle court, and requested the consecrated bread ( Leviticus 24:5-9) which was restricted by Mosaic law to the priests and gave some to his men. In other words, only the priests could eat the consecrated bread. Jesus used this action, which God did not condemn, to show that the Pharisees’ narrow interpretation of the Law blurred God’s intention. Jesus then said that man was not made for the Sabbath, but the Sabbath was made for man. The Shabbat (שַׁבָּת; is translated in Hebrew as "cease or rest." It is considered as the seventh day of the Jewish week and is the day of rest and abstention from work as commanded by God" (Genesis 1:5). The Sabbath is a sacred and divine institution; a privilege and benefit, not a task and fatiguing work. God never designed it to be a burden to us. It was instituted for the good of us. It is intended for our physical and spiritual good, not to deny us food and help. It is a day of doing good, and not only in an emergency. The Pharisees' actions indicate that the spread of the Good News of God's kingdom is opposed not only by demons but by us. Beloved, our worship of God on Sunday is meant for our ease, comfort, and blessings. Amen. HAPPY SUNDAY!!

Exodus 3:1-6
Psalm 93 or Canticle 2
Romans 8:12-17
John 3:1-16

Good morning, and welcome to another day of praise and thanksgiving to God! Today is Trinity Sunday. The Trinity holds that the One God exits in Three Persons and One Substance. This doctrine can not be known by unaided human reason apart from revelation.
In our Gospel narrative for today, Jesus teaches Nicodemus on the necessity of new birth from above (John 3:1-16). Nicodemus was a ruler of the Jews and most likely a member of the Jewish council, the Sanhedrin (John 3:1). He comes secretly to our Lord, and said to Him, “Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can do these signs that you are doing unless God is with him.“ Jesus answered and said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, no one can see the kingdom of God without being born from above.” Nicodemus responded to Him, “How can a person once grown old be born again? Surely he can not reenter his mother's womb and be born again, can he (John 3:2-4)?” Jesus answered and said to Nicodemus that the prerequisite to enter God's kingdom is mediated by “Water and the Spirit. "” All of these happened at night. “Night” is likely a theological symbol that expresses Nicodemus' spiritual relation to the truth. John often refers to darkness as the realm of evil, untruth, and unbelief (John 9:4; 11:10). Nicodemus is a man of the darkness while Jesus is the light. Jesus is the light that has come into the world, but we prefer darkness. Nicodemus, in our text for today, has made a serious choice: He has stepped into the light to learn. He has been told that unless he is born of water and the Spirit, he can not enter the kingdom of heaven. We are all outside of the kingdom and that we can not pe*****te its deeper truths unless we are born from above. Being born from above is a spiritual transformation that takes a person out of the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of God (Colossians 1:13). As we celebrate this day of the Divine Trinity, I ask that we submit to the baptism of repentance offered by John the Baptist to enable us to experience the Spirit and transformation. Jesus is willing to reveal the will of God to us. Let us not reject the importance of His words. Amen.
BLESSED TRINITY SUNDAY!!

Acts 1:15-26 or Exodus 28:1-4, 9-10, 29-30
Psalm 68:1-20 or Psalm 47
1 John 5:9-15 or Acts 1:15-26
John 17:6-19

Good morning, and welcome to another Sunday of praise and thanksgiving to God. Today is the seventh Sunday of Easter, the Sunday before Whitsunday. In the Gospel account for today, Jesus prayed for His disciples that they might be kept from sin and strengthen for the responsibility He has given to them (John 17:6-19). Jesus feels for His sheep. They recognize Jesus’ voice and believe in Him. It leads to Jesus praying for them. The disciples are precious because they belong to God and are now Jesus’ responsibility (John 17:10). He does not only pray for the eleven, but for us also that we might persevere in the wilderness. He prayed for our protection and sanctification (John 17:11, 17); that our lives may be shaped by the truth of God's word, that it may display unity among us to enable the world to come out of its disbelief. One who has the Spirit of God is opposed to the spirit of the world. Jesus did not pray that His disciples should be removed from the world. But He prayed that God would keep them from the evil from being corrupted by the world. For some of us, Jesus’ prayer doesn't seem to be working for us. We have not been kept from sin. Hatred has poisoned and divided us. The devil (Putin) and his advisories are gradually taking the world. We need to abide in God's love and keep His commandments. By this, we're separated from the world. Those aspects of Jesus’ life that brought glory to God should be characteristics for us to glorify Jesus. When our life bears fruit, Jesus and the Father are glorified. When we share Jesus Christ, “Everything in the world; the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes, and the boasting of what he has and does” (1John 2:16) loses its attractiveness. Our commitment to Jesus’ love and commandments shows the world’s values to be trash or dung ( Philippians 3:8). The world hates the exposure of its sham values ( John 3:20). Beloved, let us endeavor to apply God's word to our life that we might be sanctified and set apart for God to do His will. Amen. HAPPY SUNDAY!!!

Acts 11:19-30 or Isaiah 45:11-13, 18-19
Psalm 33 or 33:1-8, 18-22
1 John 4:7-21
John 15:9-17

Good morning!
Today is the sixth Sunday of Easter, the Sunday before Ascension, Lectionary year B to the glory of God.
The gospel narrative for today talks about abiding in Jesus’ love if His commandments are kept (John 15:9-17). The interpretation could be; “A loving obedience is the right path for all God's children. The purpose of this teaching is for us to have abundant life and not a joyless existence. Jesus’ commands to His disciples and us to obey are for our joy. He wants us to have mutual love (love each other, John 15:17). The growth of Christians is by caring for and nurturing each other, taught by Jesus, “As I have loved you.” If we step into a relationship of love with Jesus and the Father, a transformed and fruit bearing life, will flow. We can not step into a relationship of love with Jesus and the Father without loving each other. Scripture says that; “Since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another” (1 John 4:11). Love for one another is a fulfillment of God's for us and in us (1 John 4:17), and to refuse to love makes us “liars“ (1 John 4:20). That is if we showed that we have neither seen nor experienced God's love. Because of the love that the disciples exhibited amongst themselves, Jesus called them “friends“ (John 15:14-15) to distinguish them from servants who do not know the inner thoughts of their master. We also could be referred to as Jesus’ friends if we obey His commands. One who willingly and humbly served God, sees, and experienced God's love. Whatever he/she asks the Father in the name of Jesus is granted to him/her. Beloved, friendship with Jesus involves the obligation of brotherly love: Love each other (John 15:12). Our lack of love for others creates room for hatred, jealousy, and undermining. It is my prayer that you and I will accept this teaching of loving each other as Jesus has loved, resulting in our love of God with our entire heart, soul and strength (Deuteronomy 6:5). Amen. HAPPY SUNDAY!!

Acts 8:26-40 or Deuteronomy 4:32-40
Psalm 66:1-11 or 66:1-8
1 John 3:(14-17) 18-24 or Acts 8:26-40
John 14:15-21

Good morning, everyone! Today is the fifth Sunday of Easter, which is Rogation Sunday, Lectionary year B in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The gospel narrative for today teaches that our love for Christ is revealed in our obedience to His command (John 14:21). Jesus said to His disciples; “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to be with you always, the Spirit of truth—---(John 14:15-17). Here, Jesus promised that He would continue His care of His disciples by sending the Holy Spirit. This Spirit will dwell in all who love Jesus and keep His commandments and is with them forever (John 14:15-16). He serves as a teacher explaining the implications of what Jesus said and reveals the truth. Something of significance must be noted in this text. “If you love me and keep my commandments, I will ask the Father to give you another advocate.“ It suggests that the Spirit is an outgrowth of the loving relationship between Jesus and us, not an entitlement earned by us. In the absence of loving Jesus and keeping His commandments, the Holy Spirit does not dwell in us. In other words, the Holy Spirit is unnoticed by those who do not love Jesus and do not keep His commandments. Jesus will not leave us as orphans if we love Him and keep His commandments. He will come to us daily in His Spirit (dwell in us daily). Having Jesus’ commands, we must keep them. And having them in our heads, we must keep them in our hearts and lives. The surest evidence of our love to Christ is obedience to Jesus’ commandments. The fruit of loving Jesus is so great. God will love those who love Jesus. Jesus will love them and show Himself to them. Beloved, one who believes and obeys Jesus’ word, is loved by the Lord. Amen. HAPPY SUNDAY!!!
