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 Solemn Evensong at 6:30 pm. We look forward to welcoming you; for details please contact Revd Dave by email to saintbarnabasvicar@gmail.com or phone to 0794 660 9387. Activities in our halls are summarised on the Who's who page.
Sunday morning services at 10:30am (with alterations for social distancing and without hymns) have now resumed in the church building, but can also be followed online via Zoom; face coverings must be worn (except for those who are exempt) and a one-way system is marked on the floor. Please book a seat beforehand with Dorothy by email to dryhoot@yahoo.co.uk or by phone to 07903 749 214.
Evensong at 6:30pm each Sunday, and prayers at 10am on 1st and 3rd Saturday mornings, continue to be online only for the time being.
