𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗗 | This morning we were delighted to welcome Rebecca Parnell from Home for Good to St Paul & St Barnabas. Speaking from 2 Samuel 9, Rebecca encouraged us to see God’s heart for vulnerable children and families, and to consider how the Church can offer welcome, safety and belonging. Just as Mephibosheth was given a place at the king’s table, we are called to make room in our lives and our churches for those who need the hope and love of a family. You can watch the full service now on our YouTube channel.

If you’re coming to worship with us this morning, don’t be put off by the road closed signs around York Street! The current resurfacing works mean York Street is closed between Brougham Street and Limestone Road until 6pm today, with the official diversion running via Brougham Street and North Queen Street. The good news is that 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱, as the signs around us say. So don’t worry, just make your way towards SPB and towards wherever you would normally park, following the directions of those managing the road closure. Give yourself a few extra minutes for the journey and we’ll see you at 𝟭𝟬.𝟯𝟬𝗮𝗺. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲!

As we mark 175 years of worship at St Paul & St Barnabas, Rev Alan Millar asks whether we've lost the awe and wonder that once drew worshippers through these doors, and calls us back to repentance and to the unchanging truth of God's Word. Read "Reclaiming the Awe and Wonder" on our blog:

A church may have a reputation for vitality while lacking the lasting fruit of Christlikeness that marks genuine spiritual life.

This month St Paul & St Barnabas marks 175 years of worship and witness in the heart of Belfast, and in our latest blog post our minister looks back on nearly two centuries of faithfulness through world wars, economic depression, the Troubles and every kind of change this city has seen, and asks what that history calls us to now: not to stand still, but to carry the same unchanging gospel into a Belfast that looks nothing like the one St Paul's was planted in back in 1851, because as Hebrews 13:8 puts it, Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. https://news.spbbelfast.org/2026/09/spb-175-unchanging-hope-across-175.html

Moses is still on the mountain. The people grow restless. Aaron - the man who will one day lead Israel in worship - melts under the pressure of the crowd and leads the nation into idolatry. But Moses stands before a holy God and says: forgive their sin - and if not, blot me out instead. It is a picture of the one still to come, who bore what we deserved so that we need not bear it.
