Middle school and high school youth ministry provides the youth from our congregation and the community to come and grow in their relationship with God and other youth. It also provides services to youth to ensure they have the knowledge and opportunities to attend activities and retreats throughout the Dioceses. The youth group meets most Sundays from 5-7pm in the Youth Building.

The Pumpkin Patch provides a memorable experience for area children and adults by providing story telling, picture taking, and to purchase pumpkins.  Hundreds of elementary students come to hear Halloween stories read by parishioners.  Generations of families continue to return as their annual tradition and new families are introduced to St. Bart’s at the patch. The Pumpkin Patch helps fund St. Bartholomew’s missions and outreach ministries; but more importantly, it provides an opportunity for first contact and direct engagement with the greater community, and it is a lot of fun!

The EpiscoPALS is a monthly luncheon gathering for Adults 50+. It is a fun, relaxed time of fellowship and to eat good food!

The Kay Bryden Brown Bag Ministry serves seniors at the Ledges Apartments. Saint Bartholomew’s finds its mission to help others in need. We provide some food, paper products, and some hygiene products that food stamps do not allow them to purchase. Our Lord calls us to speak up for the less fortunate and assist them..

Proverbs 19:17 says: “Whoever is kind to the less fortunate lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.”
