On Sunday, February 12,
St. Barnabas Episcopal Church held their annual Ministries Fair. StarShine is one
of the church’s ministries and as such had a prominent place at the fair.
StarShine librarian Lois and volunteer Helen made the presentation for the
school. They drew a lot of attention wearing their StarShine Movers and Shakers
t-shirts.
There were signup sheets
for touring the school and for volunteering at the school. A stack of the t-shirts
were on display and every volunteer was offered one. Many people stopped by to
learn more about the school and the new location. StarShine is a popular ministry
at St. Barnabas, along with eleven other worthy causes, and parishioners were
happy to hear that StarShine has found a new location and has settled in
nicely. There were lots of new
activities to talk about.
Both Lois and Helen had a
great time talking about StarShine and this week will be back at the school
“building” the new libraries.
AND
On Saturday evening, February 25, St. Barnabas will be
holding their annual Hearts and Hands
party. All the ministries at the church will share
in the proceeds of the party. In past years, StarShine has received somewhere
between seven and ten thousand dollars. We’re hoping for a hugely successful
evening, both for St. Barnabas and StarShine.
The 4 to 8 PM party is
open to all, with tickets selling for $40 per person. There will be fabulous
food stations, a jazz trio, a silent & live auction and a whole lot of fun.
This is a great way to thank St. Barnabas for their support, and, at the same
time benefit StarShine. The address of
St. Barnabas is 6715 N. Mockingbird Lane, Scottsdale, Arizona.
