From Pittsburgh-There was a time, not so long ago, when the congregation of St. Barnabas Episcopal Church had all but disappeared.
When the Rev. Frank Yesko arrived in 2011, he didn’t know if they’d end up closing their doors, but he knew he had to try.
Now, the church has about 100 members.
“It stayed open,” he said, smiling. “We really put our trust in God.”
On Sunday the congregation got to reflect on the history of the church as they celebrated 60 years at its Morgan Street location in Brackenridge. The church moved there in 1959 after outgrowing its first location in Tarentum.
Bishop Dorsey McConnell delivered the sermon for the service.
“60th anniversary — congratulations,” he said. “That’s a beautiful thing.”
