A visitor recently commented about St. Bart's that " Heaven should be so accommodating!" Be a part of that heaven-on-earth vision by donating Easter Flowers or Easter Brass in the name of a loved one or cause. For the larger picture on St. Bart's and stewardship, read Bill Tully's special letter to the parish.

The phenomenal Tallis Scholars will be playing in our sacred space on Friday, March 26th. Coined "The Rock Stars of Renaissance Vocal Music" by The New York Times, it's not too early to reserve a ticket. Also check out the wonderful music for this Sunday's services.

As we work our way from Lent to Easter, this week's gospel about the prodigal son leads us to reconsider the concepts behind celebration and reward. Bill Tully's LIFE 101 class takes a very "now" approach to such stories. Also check out our "mid-week spiritual refresh" being offered every Wednesday in Lent by our Vicar Buddy Stallings. In addition to our recorded sermons, we are now recording the Sunday Rector's Forum. Listen in here to "Holy Ground and Burning Bushes!" -- last Sunday's discussion.

We are delighted to tell members and friends of St. Bartholomew’s that we have found a new Director of our Community Ministry—the soup kitchen, food pantry and homeless shelter that have been a rock of our mission since 1980. Please help us give him a warm welcome. More here.


WHAT'S UP WITH ART @ ST. BART'S?
For the Lenten Arts Exhibit this year, six families chose the ancient symbol of the mandala as the basis for a conversation about the life, ministry, and death of Jesus.
Dr. Kathy Bozzuti-Jones, our Director of Children and Family Ministries, is our featured artist of the month, and has 3 pieces in an on-line exhibit sponsored by ECVA called, "I Will, with God's Help."

Whether you are visiting NYC, or live here and want to go a bit deeper into your faith journey, we invite you to join us this Sunday. New folks look for those wearing a green welcome button— and let the exploration begin. If you work nearby, try a different kind of lunch or evening respite—one that renews the soul at our short daily services. If you haven’t been here yet — here’s a sneak preview. Then be sure to come see us, as the people make the place.
