A Traditional Service of Holy Communion (2nd Sunday in the month)

Occurring
Every Second Sunday at for 1 hour, 15 mins
Venue
St Barnabas Swanland
Address
St Barnabas Swanland, Main Street Swanland Hull, HU14 3QP, United Kingdom

Join us on Sunday for a traditional communion service, with hymns led on the organ. The words we use are usually projected onto a screen.

We do not currently have any babies or primary-age children who come to church regularly, but we welcome any who come to all of our services and will aim to start groups for this age when numbers permit. For younger teens, in school years 7-10, we run a 30-minute session during the service.

Our services are informal, following the Church of England liturgy.

Visitors are welcome to share communion with us if they are baptised and used to taking communion in their church. We use unleavened bread (made from flour and water) or wafers (gluten-free wafers are available on request) and share a common cup containing alcoholic wine.

There is no need to wear anything special, most people dress casually, and you can sit where you like. We do take up an offering as part of our worship but there is no obligation to give.

After the service, everyone is welcome to stay to chat and enjoy a free cup of coffee or tea,

If you want to see what we do before coming along, please see our YouTube channel where you can find recordings of our Sunday services. Everyone is welcome, regardless of your church background if, indeed, you have any church background.

St Barnabas Swanland

Welcome to St. Barnabas - a Church in the village of Swanland, a few miles west of Hull in East Yorkshire, where everyone is welcome. 

Our 10.00 am Sunday services are friendly and relaxed, and we offer activities for different age groups throughout the week. As part of the local community in Swanland, we love to share happy events such as weddings and christenings and we are here to help during some of life's difficult times.   Or perhaps you just need some quiet space or someone to talk to or to pray with.   If so, please get in contact with us, or just turn up on Sunday Morning at 10.00 am, or Monday-Thursday 10.00 am -12.00 noon.

Our church is made up of ordinary people; we're not perfect but we are continuing to learn more about God’s love and the difference He can make in our lives.

We would love to welcome you here.

Revd. Kevin Barnard (Vicar)
