What's on

Monthly Rhythm

Every Sunday at for 1 hour, 30 mins
St Barnabas
Lyme Avenue Macclesfield, SK11 7RS, United Kingdom

At St.Barnabas we have a monthly rhythm of gathering together. Each Sunday gives time and space for connecting with each other, our community and God.

1st Sunday - Common Ground. A space for something different for the whole family and community. Sometimes a walk, sometimes a meal, other times a treasure hunt or even a community marble run!

2nd Sunday - Communion service. A time to worship together as a community through a traditional communion service. There is always something for the children as well. Note, that sometimes if we can't find a vicar, we'll get in the mini bus and travel to a different church. A brilliant way to get out and about and meet others.

3rd Sunday - Scripture Reading. We simply read scripture and talk about it; maybe even with a brew in hand. There is always something for the children to do as well.

4th Sunday - Prayer. We pray together. Prayer works and coming together to depend on God is what we always need to do.

5th Sunday - A time to explore other churches and take time to worship with others or be with family or purposefully reach out to be with a friend.

Doors are open from 10:30am for brews. 'Services' start at around 11am. All welcome. All accepted.

Sundays are not everything though. There is so much going on during the week organised by lots of different people.
