God’s
love calls us to respond to the needs of our faith
family and those beyond our walls. Caring and doing
keeps us healthy and alive in Christ. Showing love
in practical ways makes all the difference.
The Parish Life Committee organizes
a number of special fellowship events during the year.
This active group involves all ages and great food
is obligatory. Favorite events include the Welcome
Back Fall Picnic, Jazz Night, the Winter Chili Cook-off,
Bowling Night, Mardi Gras Celebration, Lenten Suppers,
the annual Community Fair, Phillies Night and the
End of the Year Picnic.
Parish Breakfasts occur on the first Sunday
of each month from October through May. Friends come
together in Bolingbroke between services beginning
at 9am to relax around a table and enjoy each other
and a delicious breakfast.
Sunday Coffee Hour follows the 10:30am celebration
of the Holy Eucharist. Building friendships is our
goal. Friends new and old linger, sip and share.
In-Reach volunteers provide pastoral care
for those in special need. We deliver meals, provide
transportation to appointments, make friendly visits
and send cards full of good wishes. We are also committed
to supporting each other through prayer. Just call
the office. We would love to extend a helping hand.
Our Caring Community projects enable us to
share God’s love with those beyond our walls. Each
year we target new global projects. On-going local
projects include:
· St. Barnabas Homeless Shelter and Food Bank
in West Philadelphia
· St. Martin’s annual coat drive for City Team
Ministries in Chester
· Christmas Dinner Drive for St. Barnabas
· The Dolphins of Delaware County nursing home
visitation ministry
