Notices:
Volunteering opportunity: We are currently seeking someone to join our finance team, as a cash handler. This will entail keeping an eye on our petty cash and handling the banking of our cash from time to time. A church-based activity: you’ll need to be methodical, have an eye for numerical detail and impeccably trustworthy! Have a chat with Revd Kevin if you think you may be able to help.
Sunday 23rd August: something a little different! In our morning services next week, we’ll have a Teaching Eucharist. Instead of a sermon, our services will be punctuated with commentary: to explain the elements of our services of Holy Communion; why we have them; and why they fall in a particular order.
Invitation from our patron, Christ Church Oxford: 4:30-9:00pm on Wednesday 30th September, to a Corporate Communion service in the cathedral, preceded by tea and a talk, and followed by supper in the Great Hall. There will be a small charge of £17.50 and we will have to make our own transport arrangements (note there is no parking at the Cathedral). If you would like to go, please contact our Parish Administrator, Tony admin@saintbarnabas.org.uk, by Sunday 6th September at the latest.
Open Gardens 2026: The final Open Garden event is Sunday August 23rd, 2-4pm. Full details (with phone numbers and addresses) are on green flyers in the Parish Centre. Thank-you to all who have opened their gardens this year.
Regular giving to St Barnabas: If you consider St Barnabas is your church, please support our mission and ministry. The best way is to give regularly through the Parish Giving Scheme (click here). Or see the ‘Giving’ page on our website.
