Weekly News — 14 June 2026

Our Summer Fayre is on 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!

Live music (our Jazz Band with our new Director of Music on bass - and a set by Michael Hill from Noisy Mass and Instagram!)

Children’s competitions, crafts, toy sale, and much more - run by Chatty Church.

Drinks served to your table on the lawn all afternoon.

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

Our Patronal Sung Mass is at 10.30 - if you have one, do wear a red rose in your lapel as we give thanks for the encouragement of Barnabas. With thanks to our flowers team who have decked the church with red blooms.

I look forward to seeing those of you who can there - and we hold our whole newsletter family in prayer on this feast of encouragement and connection.  Prayers and God’s blessing to all,

Mother Sarah

Last Saturday the Churches Nature Count took place - the team was joined by our expert botanist Roger Watson alongside Garden Team co-lead Dilys Griffiths.  Despite tough weather, the Count went well, and found our wild flowers flourishing in number.

Next Choral Evensong Sunday 5 July at 6pm

Join us.

TOMBOLA! ROLL UP, ROLL UP! - last donations sought for the Tombola stall at the Fayre.

Bottles, gifts, kids items in particular. Good quality stuff of all kinds welcome.

Leave at the back of church even on the day if necessary!

CAKE STALL donations - please contact Janet if you will be donating a cake or baked goods. Even if last minute, it helps for the team to plan!

Pray as you Go

For a deep spiritual dive for 10 minutes on the Go, this is a great resource. Designed for those on the move, it’s a place of restoration and also for those with an appetite for exploration - do check it out here: the App link is on this page.

Giving to St Barnabas - we need your help!

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

WE NEED YOUR FINANCIAL HELP. 

Being part of something is a fabulous thing. Belonging includes helping in practical ways

- just like any valued relationship.

It takes 5 minutes to set up regular giving - and the benefit is limitless to this community. 

To get set up, or to review your regular giving, our easy form can be filled in HERE

Thank you!

You can find out more about our finances HERE
