We are delighted to announce that we have a Faculty from the Church of England.  This is the official permission to allow us to carry out our building works.

Over the past few weeks various people from St Barnabas have managed to remove the staging, pews and flooring in the church.  The BfM team estimate we’ve saved £10,000 in the process.

The key next steps are to remove the Organ, the large heater and start the demolitions process (which should start early June).

Here are some photos of what we have already done. For more photos please visit our facebook page.

Join us as we gather as a whole church for a Pentecost Celebration. Children aged 3-11 will be having a praise party and after the service we will be having a bring and share lunch so bring food for your family along with some to share (cold food only; leave the hog at home). Cold drinks will be provided.

There will be no 9.00am, 3.30pm or ///the SEVEN services on 19th May.

Note: The venue for this event has changed, we are no longer meeting at St Paul’s school. Instead, we are meeting at Cambridge Community Church, Coldhams Lane, CB1 3HW. The time has also changed as we will now be meeting at 10am, not 11am like previously advertised.

Our Lent theme this year is ‘Lord, teach us to pray’ focusing on the Lord’s Prayer.

Every Wednesday during Lent we will be gathering in the Cartwright Room from 7:30-8:00am  to pray for the life of our church. This is open to all so do come and join us.

On Sundays at the 10:30am service, we will be looking at different aspects of the Lord’s Prayer (Matthew 6) and learning together how we can pray in our everyday lives.

For Holy Week (25th-28th March), we will come together every evening from 7:30-8:00pm, Monday-Wednesday, for a time of reflection and meditation in the build up to Easter. On Maundy Thursday we will have a communion service starting with meditation and worship at 7:30pm

On Good Friday, there will be a family service at 10:30am followed by One Hour at the Cross at midday in the main church.

Then join us on Easter Sunday for the 9am Holy Communion service followed by our 10:30am Family Celebration. Afterwards we will be sharing lunch together as a church family.

The Online Giving Page is now up and running! We apologise for the delay.

Would you like to give to St Barnabas?

Mill Road Fair was an incredible day here at St Barnabas. Over 1250 people came through our doors during the day and over 400 stayed to see the choristers from kings.  We had a great Christingle service and loads of children did activities in the childrens tent. 5000 people were given mince pies and many were blessed by the Ceilidh on the street. We had stands in the Square , Sing community choir, Ridley Gospel choir, our own choir, prayer throughout the day and on top of that gave out 1000 hot drinks! And all of it was free!

It really was a special day and was a great lesson for us to see just how easy becoming a missional and loving part of our wider community can be. For a taster of the Mince Pie give away, watch our video below:
