We are going to be running a Youth Alpha course for anyone aged 12-18 who is interested in finding out about Christianity. Over the weeks we'll have the opportunity to ask ANY questions on a big variety of topics like: What is love? How can we overcome evil? Is there a God and if there is, what does he/she do? Why would I pray? We'll provide you with a free breakfast as we start by watching a short video to kick of the topic.
The free course will start on Sunday 20th September and will run every other week until the end of November. Start time: 10am on Sunday Mornings. You are welcome. Parent free zone.

Join us as we begin a five week Season of Creation focus with Creation in Christ, a new Festival, one of the fruits of a growing worldwide ecumenical church movement.

Opportunity to give thanks for Godโ€™s creation and redemption of the world and reflect on humanityโ€™s responsibility to care for the natural world and pray for its renewal.

โ€œCreation in Christโ€ emphasises that creation is understood through the person and work of Jesus Christ: created, sustained and destined for renewal in Christ.

The Festival connects the liturgical celebration of creation with the Churchโ€™s calling, expressed in the Fifth Mark of Mission, to โ€˜safeguard the integrity of creation and sustain and renew the life of the earthโ€™.

Creation must be cherished because it is created in Christ, sustained in Christ, wounded by human sin, and destined for renewal in Christ. We work to see Humanity Reconciled and Creation Restored.

All are Welcome at St Barnabas. โœ๏ธ๐ŸŒˆโค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Š

Our Gospel journey continues, and follows from Godโ€™s gift of salvation and the opening of our hearts to Jesus, to encounter the call for us to be agents of Godโ€™s grace, compassion, and love to the world. Itโ€™s not easy and requires sacrifice, but promises life for us and our world, if we take up our crosses and follow Christ.

What does Godโ€™s call mean for us? What can we expect when we receive Godโ€™s call? These are the questions at the heart of the readings, and they gracefully flow from last weekโ€™s challenge of how we confess who Jesus is.

All are Welcome at St Barnabas. โœ๏ธ๐ŸŒˆโค๏ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Š

In this weekโ€™s Gospel, Jesus is, as are we in our time, confronted with competing truth claims. Yet, he doesn't retreat to safety; instead, brings the question of identity into the heart of these competing voices. Jesus wasnโ€™t looking for a superficial answers but wants to know what's in our hearts.

The questions for our hearts and the test of belief and allegiance in a divided society is ultimately about how we confess and show our
faith to others, not intellectually but practically, everyday.

In this week's Gospel, Jesus, after pointing to the importance of what is on the heart, and what motivates our speaking, shows that it is the outcast (Gentiles) who are included in God's plan of salvation. We too are called to ensure what is in our heart and therefore our speaking, either in everyday life, or even our proclamation of the Good News of God, does not judge or exclude others in God's work of saving the world and all, and especially the outcast.

Sunday Club in operation also for young people and children.
