What's on at St Barnabas Church

Our corporate life is centred on Christian worship; our main Sunday services are Holy Communion at 10:30 am and Evensong at 6:30 pm (unless Christmas Day falls on a Sunday). We look forward to welcoming you; for details please contact Revd Dave by email to saintbarnabasvicar@gmail.com or phone to 0794 660 9387. Regular activities in our halls are summarised on the Who's who page.

All our services take place in the church building and most of our Sunday services can also be followed online via Zoom; face coverings are encouraged and a one-way system is marked on the floor. The cup is not shared during communion for the time being.

The times and texts for all public services are available below:
