6.30pm: Evening Prayer

Weekday services

9.00am: Morning Prayer
(this service is a short and quiet service of prayers and scripture readings. The service is from the traditional Book of Common Prayer and lasts for 15-20 minutes). This takes place Tuesday-Friday in the choir stalls at St Barnabas.

Daily Mass (times vary - see opposite)
(The tradition of a ‘daily mass’ is one that has roots in the early Church but was essentially part of the vision of renewal of the spiritual life by the Oxford Movement advocates of which our parish was a central part. To receive communion on a weekday allows us to consecrate the day to God and to receive the spiritual food and drink to nourish our faith on our daily journey.)
