GIVING – every day – is a day to think and to give, to what your heart is tugged towards; Yes, especially today is a day to reflect on what needs your help, a time to reflect on what will bring an impact to your community, your church and how you might encourage our scholars in the S+Barnabas Music program. In addition to filling the church with heavenly music during Sunday services, the Scholars also bring a profound depth to our special services, and each service requires they assemble for hours of practice in comradery. So… PLEASE DONATE TO THE S+BARNABAS SCHOLARSHIP FUND. This is our third season with the scholars, supported by the Anglican Foundation and your donations to your church. Please use our Canada helps link by going to our donations page; but please, show your support beyond measure today for something that will give back now, and through eternity. God bless you all…
