Worship Service followed by coffee hour

In the Episcopal church, we worship on Sunday with a service of Holy Communion (also know as the Eucharist). Our service is lively, with a great deal of music. We listen to several scripture readings, and then the priest offers a sermon which explains more about the readings and connects them to our daily lives. We pray. And we share communion - bread and wine, the Body and Blood of Christ. In the Episcopal Church, all who share in worship with us are invited to share in communion.

Ministries

St. Barnabas Prison Chaplaincy

Prison Services

Volunteers and the Rector visit the New Hampshire Northern Correctional Facility twice a month to provide worship and spiritual support to men at the state prison in our town. In addition, we make an effort to attend special programs which the residents have produced, such as Christmas and Easter Cantatas and Ceremonies for Veterans Day and Memorial Day. This ministry has been ongoing for over 20 years, and is one of very few religious programs available.

Little Free Library

Advocacy

Our 'little free library' is on main street, within sight of the Berlin Public Library. The library and books were funded through the NH Episcopal church with grant money. Title selection focuses on diversity, representation, and inclusion; most books are selected for children and teen age groups. 

Come "check it out."
