28th June 2026
Welcome to St Barnabas today, especially if you are visiting or here for the first time! Please introduce yourself to our host team so we can welcome you personally. Today we are delighted to formally welcome Amedee as curate following his ordination yesterday at St Paul’s cathedral. We are also pleased to be able to welcome families from St Barnabas and St Philip’s school for a ballet and percussion performance which will follow our 10.30am service.
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: Us
This week in Wildlife we will be continuing with our exploration of the first chapter of Genesis with verse 27: 'So God created human beings in his image.' We will be having fun with some of the science of God's creation of us. It will be a slightly shorter Wildlife session this week so that we can join the audience for the ballet performance after the morning service. Please stay for refreshments and then the wonderful performance of 'La Fille Mal Gardée'.
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.
Back to Worship – Lunchtime Concert
This final lunchtime concert of the season brings together the Christian musicians who played so beautifully in our Carols by Candlelight services. As we close the academic year, we return to the heart of why we make music in this space: to worship, to rest in God’s presence, and to share His love with all who come.
Wednesday 1st July, 1pm
CREATE CELEBRATION - Sunday 5th July
You’re invited to celebrate 4 years of Create with us on 5th July!
Join us for a special 6:00pm service, followed by a BBQ. It’s a great opportunity to celebrate all that God has done through Create over the past four years and enjoy fellowship together.
We look forward to seeing you for this special occasion and for our final Create service before the summer.
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.
