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!

SPB Sermons || Sent Like the Son || JOhn 20:19-23

Sent Like the Son – Family Worship at SPB Belfast (Sunday 27th April 2025) On the evening of Easter Sunday, as fear gripped the disciples behind locked doors, Jesus appeared among them and spoke the words they most needed to hear: "Peace be with you." At St Paul’s & St Barnabas this Sunday, we reflected on John 20:19-31 and the incredible transformation that the resurrection brings — not just to history, but to our hearts and lives today. We joined the disciples in their fear and doubt, seeing how even the testimony of Mary Magdalene couldn’t unlock their fear. Yet no locked door could keep out the risen Christ. Jesus appeared, scars and all, speaking peace into their brokenness. His scars weren't signs of defeat, but emblems of the victory won at the Cross — a reminder that by His wounds, we are healed. Jesus did not come to rebuke His followers, but to comfort them with His presence, speak peace into their hearts, and to co...

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...

SPB Sermons || The King Has Come || Palm Sunday || Luke 19:28-40

The King Has Come – Palm Sunday at SPB The King Has Come – Palm Sunday at SPB On Palm Sunday, we stepped into Luke 19:28–40 and into the streets of a city full of noise, tension, and expectation. It was Jerusalem then — it is Belfast now. In his sermon, Rev. Andrew Irwin reminded us that the King we proclaim is not the kind we expect. He doesn’t ride in with fanfare or force but with humility, peace, and purpose. The city of Jerusalem was packed to the brim. The great Passover celebration was at hand, and the people of God were remembering a story of freedom and rescue while still living under Roman occupation. The air was thick with anticipation. Into that atmosphere, Jesus rides — on a donkey. Not a war horse. Not with soldiers. But with disciples and borrowed cloaks. As the crowd shouts praise and throws their coats on the road, we’re reminded that they had the right words — “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!” —...
