St Barnabas’ Church
Clarksfield, Oldham

 

Our worship style

Our congregation is a welcoming community. The atmosphere is prayerful, supportive and rich in fellowship. We hope that visitors will find us friendly and welcoming.

We have a small robed choir for the Parish Eucharist on Sundays. During our worship, our vicar wears an alb and stole of the appropriate liturgical colours. Lay participation is well established. For example, the intercessions and Bible readings, and Eucharistic ministry are also undertaken on a rota, with younger members helping particularly during the monthly family service.

We serve tea, coffee and soft drinks in the main Church Hall after the Sunday morning service.

Children are very welcome: the congregation is very tolerant and fully understands the problems faced by parents. We invite children to stay with their parents in all services or to join the crèche and Sunday school, which both meet in the Church Hall. The choice is yours.

Disabled access: The entire building is easily accessed by anyone with mobility problems, or has a wheelchair. We also have good-quality toilet facilities for the disabled, which also contains baby-changing facilities.

The Church has a good-quality sound system. We recommend that anyone with a hearing aid switches it to the ‘T’ position on entry to the church.
