What you give to St Bart’s really makes a difference; without what you give we would struggle to maintain our ministry and our building. But financial giving is not just about keeping on top of things; through your generosity, we can be the church we want to be. Or scroll down to see in more depth where our money comes from and where it goes, what plans we might be able to unlock if we had more, and more detailed information. Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prov

Ash Wednesday is the start of Lent, being forty days (plus Sundays) before Easter. Jesus himself fasted forty days in the wilderness, and Lent serves as an opportunity for self-denial through fasting, increasing our giving, deepening our faith through study and prayer, and preparation for Easter, the celebration at the heart of our Christian Faith. At the Liturgy of Ash Wednesday there is an extended period of penitence, and we are marked on our foreheads with ash. In the Ol

But one thing this week made me very cheerful indeed. I had a text from someone saying, "Hello 🙋‍♂️ just want to say I love our church ⛪️" Such a simple message, but it communicates so much.

Epiphany Season | Baptism of Christ | Week of Prayer for Christian Unity   As we step into January, the Church invites us to keep celebrating. Christmas joy continues through the Sundays of Epiphany, right up to Candlemas, the Presentation of Christ in the Temple. Epiphany means manifestation : Christ revealed. In the Western tradition, we remember the magi, the “wise men from the east,” coming to worship Jesus, a sign that he is not only for one people but for all nation

We as Christians must try our best to ensure that the tail doesn't wag the dog, so to speak, that the celebrations and festivities become the be all and end all of what is a profound moment in our salvation: that God came to be among his people and was born in human fl

November is the month of remembering, a time when the church invites us to face the reality of death with faith and hope. We begin with All Saints, giving thanks for all those holy men and women who have gone before us, known and unknown. Then, on All Souls’ Day (celebrated that evening), we remember by name those we have loved and see no longer. And, of course, we keep Remembrance Sunday, honouring those who gave their lives in war for the sake of others.   I was recently on
