- The Reverend Paul Woehrle (Pastor Paul) of St. Cuthbert's, Delta wants everyone to meet Barney. As the parish produces and records Sunday services, Barney moves around serving as our “Continuity Consultant”. We ask the children and youth if they can spot Barney in the frame and if they do, to take note when in the service(and where Barney is located) and email Pastor Paul. Barney is short for Barnabas, ‘son of encouragement’. Paul also wants everyone to note that due to social distancing protocols, Barney has not had a haircut in some time.
