Thanks to all the St Bart's folks who help out each year at our official Water Stop.  Always a fun event  for all and much appreciated by the runners.   Our volunteers all received a snazzy t-shirt for the Maine Marathon organization.

Our Annual Lobster Bake to Go held August 11th  successful again!

We sold 91 lobster dinners and raised over $4,500 including donations.  All  proceeds go to the Yarmouth Compassionate Housing Initiative.  Thanks to the Membership Committee for pulling it all together, and especially to Captain Jeff Diggins for his many hours spent lobstering and cooking the lobsters for all us to enjoy Saturday evening.

Spring Youth Service Program
Each spring the Youth program at St. Bart's chooses a community outreach organization to support. This year we chose the emergency domestic violence shelter, Through These Doors, located in Portland.  Our congregation donated comforters, bed sheets,  pajamas, coffee maker, coffee press,  packs of diapers, potholders, underwear/bras,  body wash, conditioner,  lotion,  deodorant and  toothpaste.
​
Thank you for keeping the “light” of love and hope and peace shining for those experiencing domestic violence in our community!
