Come to our 2nd Arts@StBarts night on Sunday, Nov. 8 from 6-8pm and mark your calendars for the 2nd Sunday night in Dec. Bring an art project (your choice) and share time with others who love to express themselves through art. We'll have pens, crayons, paper, coloring books, and paper if you just want to come draw and connect with others. We'll will put in a pizza order for those that want to have a shared meal. 

Come as your schedule allows. This activity lines up with the 6 pm service and the 2nd Sunday Compline service, so you can attend a few different events at St. Bart's at the same time.  Friends who aren't members are always welcome too! This isn't a formal ministry, but a time for our creative folks to share community and perhaps consider whether a more formal arts-based ministry is taking shape.

St. Bart's Vestry

Your Parish Needs You! 

The terms of four vestry members expire at the end of this year and we’re looking for folks who would be interested in filling those slots. The vestry meets on the third Sunday of the month. 

Each vestry member serves as liaison with a parish committee or initiative. Vestry terms are three years and commence with the annual meeting which will occur January 24, 2027. 

Please contact John Carter via email if interested.

Are you curious about the preparation for the services? Our ministry revolves around the care of eucharistic vessels, linens, and preparing the nave for all services. Whether you are a life-long Episcopalian or new to the church, the altar guild is a wonderful way to learn more about our faith and liturgy. 

If you would like to learn more, please contact David Watkins at davidw48@comcast.net.

Compline Returns for 2026–2027 Season

Services of Compline, sung by the St. Bartholomew’s Schola Cantorum, will return for its regular season beginning in September. 

Sung each 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month at 8:00 PM, from September through May, Compline is a beautifully meditative service sung almost entirely by the choir in an atmosphere of devotion, in subdued light, with candles and incense. 

It is a golden opportunity to leave behind the cares and troubles of the busy world and simply be at peace in God’s presence. A prayer written by Cardinal John Henry Newman captures the spirit of Compline best:

“O Lord, support us all the day long of this troublous life, until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, and the busy world is hushed, and the fever of life is over, and our work is done. Then, Lord, in thy mercy, grant us a safe lodging, a holy rest, and peace at the last. Amen.”

Mimi’s Pantry is a supportive resource within the Atlanta University Center (AUC) that helps students who do not have a full meal plan access the food they need with dignity and ease. Students can choose nonperishable, fresh and frozen food items as often as needed. 

The main pantry is located on the campus of Clark Atlanta University in the Lowery Institute office. 

Smaller service organizations and churches are requested to contribute gift cards, which are utilized to purchase food items from vendors during promotional periods or when corporate donations do not meet the demand for essential goods. 

How to give: 

• If you would like to purchase gift cards, you can leave them in Dec. Florence’s cubby in the copy room. 
• You can also give via Realm by choosing “Mimi’s Pantry" from the giving drop down list or write a check, including Mimi’s Pantry in the memo line, and place it in the offering plate.

We’re excited to invite you to take part in a living expression of our shared faith, gifts, and service. 

The Stewardship Tree is an interactive display that grows leaf by leaf as we name the many ways we give of ourselves to our church and the world. 

Each leaf represents a beloved member of our community and the unique ways they offer their time, energy, and care.

Here’s how it works: 

Simply write your name on one side of a leaf and list the ministries, activities, or acts of service you’re part of on the other.

As the weeks go by, our tree will grow with the richness of our collective offerings. Whether you serve on a ministry, bring snacks for coffee hour, volunteer at the food bank, offer prayers at home, or even bring your compost to the garden—every act of love counts. Let’s fill the branches

with gratitude, presence, and joy. Every leaf is a testament to how we embody the heart of St. Bart’s. 

Come add your leaf!
