Welcome to St Barnabas the Encourager
Newsletter available click here.
The church of St Barnabas is a vibrant Anglican church in North Hampshire and serves the communities of Darby Green, Blackwater, Frogmore and Yateley. Our vision is to worship God, love one another and serve our community.
The latest changes to government guidance does not affect our ability to hold socially-distanced services in church.
In the words of Archbishop Justin Welby: “Worship is the work of God – not a social gathering – and gives the strength to love and serve.”
Past services available on Youtube. Please try both of the links below.
We’re currently sharing technology with St. Mary's Eversley so are alternating the livestream venue for the main 10am service each week. Do feel you can come and share worship in person at the alternative location as well, just as regulars there are encouraged to worship at St Barnabas on other weeks!
ALL Sunday Services currently need to be booked in advance if you wish to attend in person, so that we can manage the requirements for social distancing and ‘track and trace’. We only have room for 15 households. Please contact the clergy to do this: Rev’d Lerys on 01252 835120 and revlerys@gmail.com and Rev’d Rachel 0771 794 2669 and at This email address is being protected from spambots.

Masks for Services
FOR INDOOR SERVICES
If you are attending a service inside the church, you must wear a mask at all times to protect others. This is on top of the 2-metre social distancing guidance. The only exception to this is those leading services or those who have a medical condition. There is further advice if you are attending a Holy Communion which you will be given if attending.
FOR OUTDOOR SERVICES
If you are likely to need to enter the building for any reason (e.g. to use the toilets) then please have a mask with you. There is no need to wear a mask outside.

Supporting Your Prayer Life
Prayer from Canon Roly Riem, Vice-Dean of Winchester Cathedral
Lord Jesus,
Who in your earthly life
Bore our grief and carried our sorrows,
Stand with us, we pray,
In our fear, distress and uncertainty.
Draw near to all who are suffering;
Strengthen those who care for them;
And guide those involved in research.
Lead us all, through the depths of the cross,
to the height and joy of resurrection.
Amen.
