Looking for a delightful way to spend your lunch hour in Borrego Springs?


The popular BYOB (Bring Your Own Bowl) lunchtime concert series at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church offers a perfect blend of music, community, and delicious homemade soups. This event is open to everyone and has become a beloved tradition in the community.


What to Expect at BYOB


The idea behind BYOB is simple: bring your own bowl and enjoy a delicious lunch while listening to live music. It’s a chance to experience fellowship, connect with others, and support local musicians. Each concert features a variety of musical performances and a selection of hearty soups made by people who truly know how to make soup – local businesses, home chefs, and community members sharing their cherished family recipes.


BYOB isn’t just a meal – it’s an experience. Guests gather to share stories, meet new friends, and reconnect with familiar faces, all while enjoying soups made with love and tradition.

St. Barnabas Episcopal Church expands its ongoing collaboration with Rostros y Corazón For the first time, Fr. David Madsen and Jan Naragon of St. Barnabas (Borrego Springs) are leading a regular Eucharist service at Rostros y Corazón in Salton City. The gathering will take place the first and third Wednesday, creating a new opportunity for worship, fellowship, and community connection. The service builds on an existing relationship between the two organizations and reflects the many connections already shared between Borrego Springs and Salton City. Many West Shores residents work in Borrego Springs, attend school here, shop here, receive services here, or have family and friends in the Borrego Valley. The two communities are neighbors in many ways. The new service reflects St. Barnabas's commitment to extending ministry beyond its church walls while continuing to support relationships throughout the desert region. By gathering regularly at Rostros y Corazón, organizers hope to create a welcoming space for prayer, conversation, encouragement, and connection. Rostros y Corazón , led by Graciela Mendivil Ramos, is a nonprofit community center serving Salton City and the surrounding West Shores area. The organization is known for supporting families and connecting residents with needed resources. For upcoming service dates or questions, contact Graciela Mendivil Ramos at gracielamramos@gmail.com .
