Understanding Confirmation, Reaffirmation and Reception
Confirmation
Rooted in the baptismal covenant, Confirmation in the Episcopal Church is a sacramental rite in which a baptized person makes a mature and public affirmation of their commitment to Christ, affirming the promises that are usually made at baptism by their parents or godparents, praying to receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop. Find out more here.
Reception
The Episcopal Church understands that many people begin their faith and spiritual journey in other Christian fellowships. We recognizes and honor those spiritual journeys, Baptisms, and or Confirmations, and we welcome you into the fellowship of the Episcopal Church to continue that journey.
Reaffimration
For those who may have been away from the church for a period of time and want a new beginning. For those who sense that they are at a new stage in their spiritual life and desire to formally affirm this in ritual. Reaffirmation provides a rite for those who want to take stock of their spiritual life anew and publicly "reaffirm" their Christian vows.
Pentecost Sunday
Pentecost Sunday commemorates the descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles of Jesus Christ. Join us as we celebrate this gift!

Women's Retreat
Lord, Teach Us to Pray
When Jesus’ disciples asked him to teach them to pray, he gave them one “simple” prayer, “The Lord’s Prayer.”
This prayer proves to be the pathway to the Source of life and strength for those who long for a deeper communion with the Partners who are God. By the end of the retreat, we will know, perhaps as never before, why Jesus gave this one particular prayer. It’s the prayer he lived.
Sponsored by The Daughters of the King, this women’s retreat is open to all ages and gives us the chance to invite friends in and outside our community.
Together we will move slowly through each petition of the Lord’s Prayer with brief teaching, guided meditation, and live acoustic music.
Saturday, April 25, 2026, 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. (lunch included) in the St. Barnabas Parish Hall
Led by the Rev. Stephen Kinney, PhD, and the Rev. Karen Poidevin
Music provided by Joshua Dodds, PhD – singer/songwriter in an intimate Americana/folk style
All women are warmly invited to come, to rest, and to let Jesus answer the disciples’ ancient request, “Lord, teach us to pray,” in the very particular contours of your own life today.
Contact the church office at 830-997-5762 to register
