Sunday 29th June
Welcome to St Barnabas, especially if you are 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, “Fruit of the Spirit”, looking at the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives (Gal 5:22-23). In a world that measures success in terms of achievements, the Kingdom of God opens up a new way of living where the focus is firmly on the quality of our character. Together this Sunday we will be looking at joy, a wonderful fruit that God’s Spirit brings into our lives.

NOTICES
OFFERING
Please note that, in addition to using the card readers in church or giving in cash, you may give directly to STBK by following this QR code. Thank you in advance for your generosity - all gifts given will go directly to support our church’s ongoing ministry as we reach out to those in need around us with the love of Christ.
COMPASSION UK
Following Lisa Leaf’s recent visit, a number of people indicated interest in sponsoring a child with Compassion UK. To follow this up, or to explore the possibility of sponsoring a child, please follow this QR link. More information is available at the back of church.
Are you a new mum or mum-to-be?
Join our Bumps & Babies WhatsApp group – a friendly space for local mums to connect, chat, and support each other. We meet up for coffees, catch-ups, and (once the little ones arrive) baby playdates too! Whether you're expecting or already cuddling your newborn, you're very welcome.
Please contact Emily Kuol @Emily Kuol if you would love more info or to join the group.
Wildlife Volunteers
Love working with children? We're looking for volunteers to help with our wildlife Sunday sessions. This can be once a week, every other week or once a term - a timing that suits you. If you are interested please let Emily Kuol know.
YOUTH CLUB
Our new Youth Club meets on alternate Sundays from 5–7pm
This will be a relaxed and fun space for our young people to hang out, build friendships, and enjoy different activities together. It’s separate from our usual Youth Ministry that meets on Sunday mornings at 10:30am during the service, where we study the Bible and talk about life and faith. Youth Club is all about community and fun, and it will run every other Sunday from 5 to 7 pm.
To make it even more welcoming, we’d love to offer some simple food each time things like sandwiches, mac & cheese, or snacks.
If you’d like to volunteer to help with food (either cooking or bringing something) for one of the evenings, please email: mariane@stbk.org.uk
Every little bit helps and makes a big difference! Let’s support our youth.
TABLE GROUPS
At St Barnabas we want to grow together as disciples of Jesus. Table Groups help us do this! These small groups meet during the week, and are flexible to suit the different needs of our community. If you are not yet a part of a Table Group, the start of a New Year is a great time to join in! For more info, go to stbk.org.uk/tablegroups
AVOIDING SCAMS
A number of our church community have recently been on the receiving end of various scams (phone, email. online). We have information booklets available at the back of church, produced by Age UK. Please do not hesitate to take one, and to ask for support if necessary!
At St Barnabas, we are a vibrant and diverse community, passionate about
WELCOMING all in Jesus’ name, GROWING TOGETHER as his disciples,
and STEPPING OUT in God’s mission to all nations.
