An opportunity to experience and enjoy an authentic expression of sung worship deeply rooted in the sounds and traditions of Scottish music

A course for the Christian Journey - Following the success of the first Pilgrim Course "Turning to Christ", our two House Groups (Tuesday evening and Wednesday afternoon) will be studying the second course on "The Lord's Prayer". Once again the course is 6 weeks long. For more information and to book a place please contact Rev'd Tracey by emailing [email protected]

Totally informal drop-in for a cup of tea/coffee and somewhere to be warm and have a chat rather than sit at home. You can stay all morning or just drop in when out for a walk or a drive or just tending a loved one's grave. Dogs are very welcome if under control. An ideal opportunity to peruse the fascinating volumes of photos and history of Barham Church produced by the Church Recorders or the plans for the nearby Barham Meadows housing development . You can also peruse a branch of the Bacon Road Little Library which is hosted at the west end of the Church. This is a free library although for those who wish there is an opportunity to make a donation towards the work of the local Stowmarket and District Foodbank.
THERE WILL BE NO DROP-IN ON GOOD FRIDAY OR WHEN CHRISTMAS DAY/BOXING DAY FALLS ON A FRIDAY

On 1st, 3rd and 4th Sunday of each month this is a Communion service in book of Common Worship format with Gloria and some responses sung as well as hymns . On the 2nd Sunday of each month this is a shorter Non-Eucharistic Morning Worship with Choir and hymns On Mothering Sunday and some other Sunday this will be a more child-friendly Family Communion service. All 10am services are followed by optional fellowship with tea & coffee in adjoining Church hall - a great chance to get to know people and make new friends, if you are new to the Church. The church has a modern audio system with hearing loop throughout. Services are relayed into adjoining hall if you feel you need to escape with young children.

Please Note that when there is a 5th Sunday in the month or on certain Sundays in December this service may be a benefice service held at either Henley or Gt Blakenham. Also on Remembrance Sunday the service starts at 10:30am to include the 2 minutes silence at 11am. Check "The Monthly notice sheet" via the menu on the left for details.

Over a number of years many people who have lost close family or friends have found this annual service to remember loved ones a great help to them. The service is quiet and short and this year takes place at 3pm on Sunday 26th October. Everyone welcome. The service will be followed by tea/coffee in Church extension.

This Service is for anyone who might find a longer Service difficult, but still enjoys praising God, and is suitable for those with dementia and their carers.

This is a very relaxed Sunday evening event including crafts etc, short lively worship and a meal. It is aimed at families with young children from babies to young teenagers but all are welcome. We hold this on the first Sunday of every month apart from August. As we plan crafts and a sit down meal we appreciate knowing who is coming and any allegies etc. In July we have a barbecue for which we join with the rest of Church. If you plan to come any month please email [email protected] with your family details. However if you just turn up you will be made very welcome. Our aim is that you will be able to leave soon after 6 pm so little ones can get to bed.
