Meditation has become a regular and enriching part of our community life. Each first and third Wednesday at 6pm, we gather to quieten our minds and create space for God to work within us. Whether you are an experienced meditator or simply curious, we warmly welcome you to join us on this journey.

We believe that meditation is a skill that can be developed over time, much like prayer. It’s an opportunity to intentionally step away from the noise of daily life and enter a state of peaceful awareness. In this silence, we can listen for God’s guidance and deepen our spiritual connection. It is a time to simply "be" with God, without the need for words or specific requests.

Our sessions are usually around 30 minutes and to help you feel more comfortable during the session, we suggest bringing a cushion for the pews.

We look forward to seeing you there.

You are warmly invited to our Sunday morning service — a time of song, prayer, reflection, and shared worship. This is a Eucharist (or Holy Communion) service, where we remember and give thanks for the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Whether you’ve been to church many times before or this is your very first visit, you’ll be made to feel welcome. There’s no dress code and no expectations — just come as you are.

The service includes hymns (songs), readings from the Bible, a short talk, and the sharing of bread and wine (or a blessing if you prefer not to receive communion). Children are very welcome — we’re used to a bit of noise and movement, and there’s space for them to feel comfortable.

After the service, we’d love you to stay for light refreshments, a biscuit, and a chat. It’s a great way to meet others and find out more if you’re curious.

Barningham Winter Church is a place for everyone — wherever you are on your journey of faith (or even if you’re just wondering what it’s all about), you are welcome here.

A Gentle Start for the Whole Family: 8:30 AM Spoken Eucharist

Looking for a peaceful, meaningful way to begin Sunday? Join us for our 8:30 AM Eucharist. This beautiful, said service (without organ or hymns) is intentionally quiet and contemplative, perfect for centring your heart before the week begins. We warmly welcome children! The simplicity and shorter length make it an accessible and engaging experience for young families. Come share the quiet joy of Christ's presence, receive communion, and connect with our welcoming community. All are invited.

Join us as we gather for a service of prayer, remembrance, and hope. Together we will honour those who gave their lives in times of war and conflict, and pray for peace in our world today.

The service will include the laying of wreaths and the traditional Two Minutes’ Silence — a time for stillness, reflection, and gratitude. At this service we will read the names of from the villages of Barningham Winter and Bessingham

All are welcome to share in this meaningful act of remembrance.

Advent marks the beginning of the Christmas season — a time of hope, reflection, and joyful expectation. Our Advent service helps us prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ, through prayer, readings, and hymns that remind us of God’s promise of light and peace.

Come and join us for morning service in the beautiful fifteenth-century St Peter's Church at North Barningham.

Dress warm - there is no heating in this Church!

Our Carol Service featuring a choir is one of the highlights of the Christmas season — a joyful celebration filled with well-loved carols, readings, and the timeless story of the birth of Jesus. Whether you have been coming to church for many years, haven’t been for a long time, or are simply curious to experience the wonder of Christmas in a traditional way, you will find a warm welcome here.

You don’t need to know the words or the tunes — just come and enjoy the music, the atmosphere, and the sense of community as voices join together in song. The service is family-friendly and open to all, offering a chance to pause in the busyness of December and to share in the hope and joy that Christmas brings.

We warmly invite you to join us, bring friends and family, and be part of this very special celebration.
