7th 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 is Barnabas Sunday, a special opportunity for us to join together as one united community in celebration of God’s goodness. In the Bible, goodness is a key way to describe God himself, and it is also a beautiful characteristic of followers of Jesus. Barnabas is a wonderful example of this: we are told that he was ‘a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith’ (Acts 11:24). What a wonderful combination! Let’s ask God to fill us as well today so that our lives can overflow with God’s goodness to those around us.

NOTICES
WildLife: Barnabas Sunday
The children will be joining in with our celebrations for Barnabas Sunday. We will be casting our memories back to our Team Barnabas activities when we learned about Barnabas, particularly his character from Acts 11:24 ‘He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.' We will also be thinking about how God uses us to spread love and his knowledge with a fun, creative activity (but we'll keep that as a surprise!). There will be a new action song to learn too. Please also join us after the service for the BBQ, and some games, activities and face painting.
Family Fun Day - Saturday 13th June
You are warmly invited to join us at our next Family Fun Day on Saturday 13th June from 10am to 12pm. There will be a bouncy castle; soft play toys; games and activities; arts and crafts; and refreshments - fun for all the family. There is a suggested entry donation of £5 per child. Please come and join us and invite friends and neighbours too!
GOODBYE TO GRACE
Next Sunday 14th June at 10.30am we will be saying goodbye to Grace as she reaches the end of her 3-year curacy with us and enters a new chapter of her life and ministry. We are so grateful to her for everything she has brought us during her time at STBK and want this to be a special time of thanksgiving and commissioning. So please join us at the 10.30am service as she brings God’s word to us and then as we take time to pray for her as she leaves.
LAUNCH NIGHT - THOMAS BUCKLER NEW EP
Come and celebrate the launch of Thomas's new EP “Tree Of Life Vol. 2: Home” with this special musical event in church on Friday 19th June from 7pm.

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.
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.
