21st June 2026
Welcome to St Barnabas on this special Sunday, especially if you are visiting or here for the first time! Please introduce yourself to our host team so we can welcome you personally.
This Sunday we continue our new series looking at the letter of James, a letter that offers spiritual and practical wisdom for living lives that are in line with our beliefs. Written by the brother of Jesus, the letter is interested in how faith impacts our everyday choices and outlook, thoughts and words, attitudes and behaviour. It is down-to-earth and very challenging. So let’s get ready to hear God speak to us and together see how “Faith Works” in practice!

NOTICES
WildLife - Creation Champions: stars
This week we will be shining and sparkling at Wildlife as we celebrate God's creation of stars from Genesis Chapter 1: 'He also made the stars. God put all these in the sky to shine on the earth.' We will also be thinking about Psalm 147 and Matthew 5:16 as we think about how we, too, can shine God's light in darkness. So come along and join us for some glow-in-the-dark fun and activities on Sunday at 10:30am.
SCHOOL BALLET AND PERCUSSION PERFORMANCE
We are delighted that the ballet and percussion performing groups from St Barnabas and St Philip’s school will be performing on Sunday 28th June after the 10.30am service. We are particularly excited about deeper connections that God is opening up for us as a church with our primary school, and this performance offers us a wonderful opportunity for outreach as we welcome in families from the community who don’t otherwise come to church. Please stay for this performance if you can, and make a special point of welcoming those who come. Let’s pray that this, alongside our other outreach activities aimed at families in the local area, will create connections that will bear fruit for God’s kingdom.
AMEDEE ORDINATION - Saturday 27th June
We are excited that Amedee will be being ordained deacon (curate) at St Paul’s cathedral on Saturday 27th June at 3pm. All are welcome to attend and support him and Sylvie on this special day, but make sure you arrive early at the cathedral to get a seat! We will then be praying for him during the 10.30am service on 28th June as this new chapter of his ministry at STBK opens up.
CREATE CELEBRATION - Sunday 5th July
Contrary to the announcement in last week’s news sheet, the last Create service before the summer break will be on Sunday 5th July at 7pm. Apologies for the confusion! Join us at this special opportunity to give thanks for the past 4 years of Create. Worship, testimonies, fun, prayer. Don’t miss out!
MADE NEW —A CELEBRATION OF THE 1856 WALKER ORGAN
Join us for an evening of music, heritage, and renewal as we celebrate the newly restored 1856 Walker Organ at St Barnabas Kensington. This inaugural concert brings together Joshua Gearing, the Willow Orchestra, and the Alyth Choral Society (Director: Alison Smart Fisher) for a vibrant programme centred on Poulenc’s Concerto for Organ, Strings, and Timpani, alongside works by J.S. Bach, Messiaen, Respighi, and more.
Experience the sound of a 19th‑century London treasure brought back to life, filling the church once again with colour, power, and beauty.
4 July 2026, 7.30pm — St Barnabas Kensington
