Services suspended until further notice due to COVID-19

  • As expected the Church Of England have issued a statement saying all church services have been suspended until further notice. Similarly all groups and events held at St Paul's and St Barnabas have also been cancelled.
  • We are looking at ways we can continue to provide worship, prayers and teaching at this difficult time. Please keep yourselves and those around you safe in the coming weeks.
  • Further information and updates will be emailed out to you as well as posted on the website and our social media pages.

Toddler group closed temporarily

Toddler group closed temporarily due to COVID-19

  • It's with a very sad heart I have to tell you that in light on tonight's statement from the Prime Minister (16.03.2020) we feel we should close toddlers until the situation changes.
  • Please don't feel alone as we all can with small people, please use this group to share worries, gripes and funny things.
  • Families and the economy may get very stretched, If you or anyone else finds themselves in a position where you can't put food on the table please direct message us, we cannot promise you that we can solve it all but we can try.
  • Finally please know that we are praying for you all and the country and will happily pray for specific requests if you direct message us.
  • Take care, we will miss you 🙂
