Weekly Announcements and Pastoral Care - St Paul's & St Barnabas

Weekly Update from St Paul's & St Barnabas

Greetings to all our cherished members and visitors. As we step into another week filled with opportunities for growth, fellowship, and worship, we are excited to share important updates and initiatives within our church community.

Vestry Meeting and Upcoming Events

We kindly remind our congregation of the upcoming Vestry Meeting on Monday evening, facilitated by Bryan Lacey. Your insights and presence are vital as we deliberate on matters concerning the well-being and direction of our church.

Our weekly schedule sees a slight adjustment with no Bible Study taking place on Wednesday, 14th February. However, we look forward to our collective prayer and worship sessions on Sunday, 18th February, starting with a Prayer Meeting at 9:45 am followed by Morning Prayer at 10:30 am. The Evening Prayer will also be held at 19:00.

Continuing on Wednesday, 21st February, our 'Deeper' Bible Study and Prayer Meeting will resume at 19:30, focusing on the conclusion of our exploration through Colossians. Additionally, starting from Thursday, 22nd February at 11 AM, we are introducing a new weekly session dedicated to Bible Study, Prayer, and Fellowship.

Pastoral Care

For the forthcoming week, pastoral duties will be managed by Rev Nathan Ervine from the Church of the Good Shepherd, Monkstown. Should you require pastoral support, please do not hesitate to reach out by calling our church number at 028 9600 5015. For direct assistance, you may also contact Rev Ervine via email at Nathan@cogsmonkstown.org.

"Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, since he who promised is faithful." - Hebrews 10:23, CSB

Opportunities To Gather and Grow || SPB NOTES || Coming up to Winter 2024

As we enter a season full of opportunities to gather and grow, I want to encourage everyone to participate in the life of our church. Hebrews 10:24-25 reminds us, “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another.” Gathering is a vital part of our faith, and these events are designed to strengthen our fellowship, prayer life, and outreach efforts. Each event, whether it’s our community prayer meeting, the winter coat project, or the Advent services, is a chance for us to come together as the body of Christ, using the unique gifts God has given us. 1 Corinthians 12:12-14 highlights that we are all members of one body, and every part is needed to function as God intended. When we gather, pray, and support the church’s work, we not only bless each other but our entire community. I encourage you to engage deeply in these events and find where you can serve. Whether it’s helping ...

Community Payer Meeting at St Paul's & St Barnabas

Community Prayer Gathering This past Wednesday evening, we were privileged to gather in the newly refurbished lounge at St Paul’s & St Barnabas for a community prayer meeting. It was a joy to welcome friends from other churches across the area as we united in prayer for our church, our community, and the wider world. The theme for the evening was to seek God's guidance, and blessing for our church and community. Scripture encourages us to pray without ceasing ( 1 Thessalonians 5:17 ) and to come boldly to the throne of grace ( Hebrews 4:16 ), and so we lifted up our voices in faith. During the prayer meeting, we focused on key areas: our local community, the great work of the churches in the area , and personal renewal. Encouraged by the echols of Philippians 4:6 , where we are encouraged to bring our requests to God with thanksgi...
