SUNG WORSHIP

Gathered worship is an important part of living out our vision at St. Barnabas. Music is a key way in which we worship God together, passionately and honestly, teaching his word faithfully with theological depth through the songs that we sing.

This gathered worship supports clusters and small groups by underpinning and equipping our church for relational, integrated community.

The style of sung worship varies between our 3 Sunday services.

• 9am           -       on the first Sunday of each month there is more traditional sung worship, led from the piano.
• 10.30am    -       each week the sung worship is led by a band and seeks to have an all    age focus, providing a way for the young through to the old to engage with God together.
• 7.30pm      -       this service is characterised by a more informal style of sung worship, with the band leaders seeking to take the worshipper on a journey, starting with praise and adoration and moving into a time of response.

We understand sung worship at St. Barnabas in the following terms:

• An offering to the Lord.
• An opportunity to encounter and respond to the Lord.
• A time for intimacy with the Lord.
• An occasion to be honest and vulnerable before the Lord.
• A chance to be empowered by the Lord.
• A corporate undertaking.

Why do we call it ‘sung' worship?

• Worship should be expressed through our whole lives (Romans 12:1-2). When we gather together to worship through songs, these will hopefully be special and invaluable occasions; yet they remain only part of our worship as God's people.
