5th May 2024

 
 

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. A particular welcome to a group from the Roman Catholic diocese of Vienna who will be joining us at our 9am service.

This Sunday we continue our series “The Gift”, receiving the Holy Spirit today, looking at the Spirit of Adoption. What an incredible truth that by the Spirit we are able to know that we are God’s children and that we can turn to him at any moment! Let’s ask him to make this more and more real in our experience, both individually and as a church community.
