CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE RESURRECTION JESUS SUNDAYS, MAY 6, 13, 20, 9AM HUTTON HALL During the 40 days before the Ascension, the disciples encountered the Risen Lord in various places and times. Interestingly, each Gospel has a distinctly different story to tell about the Risen Lord. We'll dive into the scripture and wonder: what do the Gospels teach us about how to live the New Life of the Resurrected Christ?

The diocese collected over 1,000 pairs, and nearly 40 volunteers, including 5 from Saint Barnabas, met at St. Vincent de Paul s in downtown Phoenix to bring the Spirit of the Maundy Thursday liturgy into the world. We offered foot washing and a foot clinic to those experiencing homelessness in the area. During our time on site, 180 individuals had their feet washed, cared for, and checked over by nurses and doctors. As each of our 180 guests left, they were given a bag containing four pairs of socks, a water bottle, granola bar, toenail clippers, and emery board. In the words of one man who spoke with an organizer, The foot scrubbing was heaven! The lotion was heaven! These new socks are heaven! -Deacon Sarah & Deacon Susie
