New Church Wish List
As we approach the end of PHASE-I of our New Church construction, we must first pause and give Thanks to God Who has Blessed our Parish Very Richly in many ways, and for Having Guided us successfully to achieving a great accomplishment that will provide a glorious place of worship and social interaction for the St. Barbara's Parish for many years to come. The great spirit of support and giving by St. Barbara's parishioners and Friends has been, also, outstanding, and May God Bless each and every one of you abundantly! In order to offer all our parishioners and friends the opportunity to personalize in a tangible and meaningful way a contribution to The New St. Barbara Church complex, the Parish Council has approved a prioritized list of Appointments and Other important items which are needed in a properly functioning Christian Orthodox Church community. Parishioners and Friends may purchase any of these items individually or by joining a group of donors who may be interested in purchasing jointly a more substantial item such as the Icon Screen or the Bishop's Throne.   more...
