Sunday 14th September
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.
In this Autumn season we are following a series entitled “Life in his name”, looking together at the life Jesus offers us as shown through the gospel of John. Towards the end of the gospel, the author explains that he has written that we "may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing we may have life in his name” (John 20:31). This promise of life touches us on every level and enables us to see our existence, our purpose and our calling in the light of the immeasurable love that God has for us. It is also a wonderful message to share with those around us! Like the first disciples, we too can invite others to “Come and See”.

WIDLIFE
Wildlife had a great start back last Sunday. The children met our first ‘team player’ - Barnabas - for this term’s activities for Team Barnabas! We will continue exploring Barnabas again this week and taking inspiration from his acts of encouragement and sharing. Join us for a game of pass-the-parcel, a team building blocks challenge, and to collect your first Team Barnabas card of Barnabas. Our Bible reading and memory verse this week is: ‘No person in the group said that the things they had were their own. Instead they shared everything.’ Acts 4:32. We look forward to seeing you at Wildlife on Sunday at 10:30am!
