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.
