Our Priest in Charge, Revd. Catherine, and the congregation look forward to welcoming you to our regular Church Service.

At a celebration of the Eucharist, the community gathers, asks God’s forgiveness for its sins, listens to readings from the Bible including a reading from one of the Gospels. A sermon is preached and the community prays together. Bread and wine are brought to the the altar, the priest prays the Eucharistic Prayer, and everyone says the Lord’s Prayer together. The community then receives the consecrated bread and wine. At the end of the service, the community is sent out into the world as a ‘living sacrifice’ to live and work to God’s praise and glory.

We follow the service with light refreshments in St. Barnabas' Community Centre.

After our Church service we all enjoy light refreshments in St Barnabas' Community Centre. Everyone is welcome and we are often joined by people who could not attend the Service. We are always pleased to chat and catch up with you all in this informal situation.

Pop in to the hall and join others for a chat and a cuppa. Everyone welcome.

Come and join us for our monthly Prayer and Praise Service. We sing modern hymns and share mediative prayers. It is an uplifting service and you are all invited. Held on 1st Monday of each month at 7pm in St. Barnabas' Church.

St Barnabas' Church will be open for Heritage weekend on Saturday September 12th 2026.

We would like to encourage you all to visit the church while it is open that day. Our volunteers will keep the Church building open from 10am to 4pm. The Church is part of our local history. It was commissioned by George Fredrick D'Arcy Lambton in 1867 and dedicated to St Barnabas. Find out more on our website:

In Church, we will also host a Conservation Day, at the same time as our Heritage opening hours. There will be information about local areas to visit Nature and about local projects to conserve nature. God's creation is being cared for by local people and we want you to know where and how to access it.

We are in the process of building a Wild garden in the Church grounds. It will be somewhere for the local community to visit, rest, observe nature and be still. There will be future projects to get involved in. A local Forest school and Rainton Meadows are working with us. Find out more at this event in our 'Cool Space' Church.

Yes, you read it correctly. We would like to thank God for our Pets.

This service will take place outside the St Barnabas' Community Centre on Sunday 14th September at 3pm. Bring your pet along to be blessed by St Barnabas' Church.

Please be safe with your pets, bring it in an appropriate carrier or on a lead. It is your responsibility to keep your pet safe and a safe distance from others. If you can not bring your pet you can bring a photograph of them with you. Dress for the weather.
