26th July 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..
This Sunday we conclude our 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 hear God speak to us as together we see how “Faith Works” in practice!

NOTICES
WildLife Summer
This week the children will be thinking more about their summer memory verse of 'As I have loved you, so you must love one another.' (John 13.34) by reflecting on how this can be shown through giving and sharing. We will be enjoying an episode of Veggietales and Lyle the Sharing Viking to think about how God calls us to love and share with others - not just those that we find it easy to love - and setting some summer holiday intentions inspired by 'for God loves a cheerful giver' (2 Corinthians 9:7). Join us at the 10:30am service!
On behalf of the children, we also share a heartfelt thank you to all of the children's groups volunteers for their love, commitment, generosity, patience, and joy in the way that they have served over the last year. Thank you!
As all the children's groups leads and helpers have a break during August, please note that there will be no children's groups during this month. However, the children are all still warmly invited to the service and there will be weekly colouring sheets and activities for parents to share with their children in the Church Room (where the service will also be available to follow on the screens).
Youth News!
From 26th July, we will take a summer break until September. During this time, we encourage all our youth to continue attending the Sunday church services. We will also have a check-in points over the summer to stay connected and catch up with everyone.
We hope you all have a wonderful summer, and we look forward to seeing everyone again in September!

In the Autumn
We are excited to be launching a new evening service, the 5pm, from October. This service will be marked by its relaxed atmosphere, its focus on worship and practical teaching, and the opportunity it will give to explore deeper through overflow groups that will follow the service. More details will come in September. But let’s already pray that God will use this service to bring his Good News to new people, and help us to deepen our faith as a community together. Please pray too for the practical preparations and for the core team that will be helping lead this service.
In our prayers
As we begin the summer season, let’s pray for:
Those who are struggling with illness, loneliness or grief, especially Melenda McLean and family following the death of her mother, Avril Denton and family following the death of Michael.
Those who will be leaving, travelling, or finding themselves in unusual settings - that God will use this time to refocus us on himself and renew our trust in him.
Local churches, especially: St John’s Notting Hill following the recent death of Fr William, their vicar for 24 years; St Thomas Kensal Town whose vicar has recently stepped down; All Saints Notting Hill who are faced with overwhelming building problems.
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.
