Weekly News — 7 June 2026

Preparations continue at real pace for our Summer Fayre - next Sunday 14 June at 12noon-4pm.

This year we start early - so food and drink are available on the spot - don’t go home after church - feed your children and yourselves at our BBQ!

Please spread the word - check out our Facebook posts and share them - and most of all please come and bring your family and friends.

This is truly a case of the more the merrier - and also is one of our key fundraiser events for the year.  Please contribute to the life and work of St Barnabas by coming and enjoying food and drink and lots of stalls and activities for all ages.

Our live music goes around the clock, featuring Instagram sensation and local legend, singer-songwriter @michaelhill_music. Hear also our jazz band, feat. our new Director of Music as freshest collaborator.

Drinks served to your table on the lawn all afternoon.

Relax, chat, try the tombola, take cake slices away for the week!

 

Worship this Sunday:

8am BCP said communion

10.30 Sung Mass for Corpus Christi; Noisy Mass; Youth Groups

6pm Choral Evensong

 

Mother Sarah

I am reading: Theo of Golden, Allen Levi

Lots happens at St Barnabas between Sundays! This week a professional recording by Kings College London Chamber Choir used the space for 5 days. A joy that we are part of this wider musical community; also, recording hire fees contribute to our careful stewardship of finances.

The warm acoustic, concert-grade piano and organ, and quiet location together make us one of London’s growing recording venues - ask via the office for more details!

Next Choral Evensong this Sunday at 6pm

Next date is Sunday 5 July, at 6pm.

Join us.

Mother Jeanny was licensed as curate to St Barnabas by Bishop Lusa on Tuesday this week.

+Lusa gave us a couple of bottles of fizz to mark the event - we will serve them at coffee after Mass on Sunday!

Giving to St Barnabas - we need your help!

What does St Barnabas give you, that nothing else can?
