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 a chasuble 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. Also, we often
have food after a service such as brunch or a faith lunch.
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.
