Reflecting on a Joyous Morning and Looking Forward to Next Sunday

Reflecting on a Joyous Morning at St Pauls & St Barnabas

What a delightful morning we had at St Pauls & St Barnabas with the incredible team from Play it By Ear! They led an amazing Nativity Pantomime that was not only energetic and fun but also beautifully reminded us all of the transformative power of Jesus' arrival. The excitement continued with our Sunday School's Christmas Party - a joyous time for all!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined and participated in today's festivities. Your presence and enthusiasm brought so much joy and spirit to our church family.
