Children and young people are very welcome at St. Barnabas, and we are

committed to:

You will find our child protection policy displayed in church on the notice board.

In Church with children

Families with young children are very welcome at St. Barnabas—please don’t feel

embarrassed or stressed with your child cries or runs around during the service

(we are quite used to it!) In Church we have a children’s corner with books, games

and toys, and you will also find bags of soft toys to keep young children occupied.

Children who regularly receive communion are welcome to receive at St. Barnabas.

“Barney’s Bunch” Sunday School

The Sunday school meets at 9.55 every Sunday in the Church Hall. The

teaching and activities are varied according to the age of the children, but will include

elements of games, worship and age related Bible teaching. The children join back

with us in church during the Peace (please make sure your child knows where you

are sitting). Other special activities take place through the year.

Youth Group

The Youth Group meet in the Church Hall every Sunday (apart from the first Sunday in the month)

and join in with Barney's Bunch for music and prayer time before separating for their own discussion

time.  They also meet up for social events, ranging from video & popcorn evenings to swimming

and go-karting.

Families @ St. Barnabas.

During the year we have a packed social diary especially with families in mind. Last

year this included skittles,  barbeques, the annual church camp etc. Keep an eye on the

notice board, and remember that you are always very welcome.

 We hope you’ll find something for everyone at St. Barnabas, but if you can see a gap

in our provision, please speak to a member of the clergy or a churchwarden. St.

Barnabas is your church, and exists to show God’s tremendous love for Rainbow

Hill and all the world.
