What's On at St Paul's & St Barnabas – Week Beginning 9th Feb 2025

For Christ & Our City – What’s On This Week at St Paul’s & St Barnabas

As we continue in the rhythm of life as a church family, we are reminded that our gathering together is not just about events on a calendar but about seeking Christ, strengthening one another, and serving our city in His name. Here’s what’s happening in the week beginning 9th February 2025 at St Paul’s & St Barnabas.

Monday – Vestry Meeting (7:30 PM)

The Vestry is gathering in the Parish Centre for our regular meeting. This is where we prayerfully steward the mission and ministry of the church, ensuring that all we do serves to glorify God and bless our community.

Wednesday – Gather (7:30 PM)

Midweek is a time to slow down, come together, and be refreshed in God’s Word. Gather is for anyone wanting to grow in faith, explore Scripture, and encourage one another on the journey of discipleship. We’ll have tea, coffee, and space for honest conversation as we learn together.

Thursday – Community Drop-In (10 AM – 12 PM)

Everyone needs a place where they are known and welcomed. Our Community Drop-In is just that—a chance to come in, grab a cuppa, enjoy some treats, and have a chat. Whether you're passing by or looking for company, you’ll find a warm welcome here.

Sunday – Morning Worship (10:30 AM)

We gather on the Lord’s Day to lift our voices in worship, hear from His Word, and share in fellowship. Our Morning Worship includes a children’s ministry and refreshments afterward. All are welcome as we come before the Lord together.

Sunday – Evening Worship (7:00 PM)

This week, our Evening Worship will be a service of Evening Prayer with Rev. Alan. It’s a quiet, reflective service where we pause, pray, and rest in the presence of God at the close of the day. If you're longing for a space to breathe deeply and encounter Christ, this is for you.

We would love for you to join us for any of these gatherings, whether you’ve been part of the church for years or are simply curious to see what we’re about.

“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” – Hebrews 10:23

See you soon!

– St Paul’s & St Barnabas

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 ...

This Is the Hour – Join Us for Holy Week 2025 at St Paul’s & St Barnabas

This Is the Hour – Join Us for Holy Week 2025 at St Paul’s & St Barnabas, Belfast As we journey toward Easter this year at St Paul’s & St Barnabas in North Belfast, we invite you to take part in our Holy Week services under the theme “This Is the Hour.” This powerful phrase comes from John’s Gospel, where Jesus speaks of the appointed time—the hour—for which He came into the world. From Gethsemane to glory, Jesus moves with divine purpose toward the cross and the empty tomb. We are invited to walk with Him in that hour: to sit in the sorrow of betrayal, to receive the grace of service, to stand at the foot of the cross, and to rejoice at the dawn of resurrection. Our Holy Week reflections will follow the Gospel of John, focusing each evening on a key moment in Jesus’ journey. All services begin at 7:30 pm , and we warmly welcome you to come just as you are. Tuesday 15th April – 6:30pm Easter Community Prayer Walk Meeting at Salv...

Sermon || True Worship – John 12:1–8 || SPB Belfast

True Worship – John 12:1–8 | SPB Belfast True Worship – John 12:1–8 As we journey through Holy Week, we find ourselves in Bethany, just six days before the Passover, where Jesus is gathered with friends for a meal. Among them is Lazarus—recently raised from the dead—a quiet but powerful reminder of Jesus’ divine authority over life and death. In this setting, Mary responds not with words, but with worship. She breaks open a jar of costly perfume, pours it over Jesus’ feet, and wipes them with her hair. This extravagant act becomes a defining picture of what true worship looks like. In Sunday’s sermon, Rev. Andrew Irwin helped us explore the richness of this moment. Mary’s worship is more than emotion; it is the overflow of a heart transformed by grace. She had seen the power of Jesus firsthand when her brother Lazarus walked out of the tomb. Her act of worship ...
