St Barnabas Church Eltham is located in the district known as Well Hall in London SE9. The church is a landmark building on the A205 South Circular Road on the way to and from Woolwich, close to the A2.
WORSHIP SERVICES
Our worship services are generally quite relaxed and informal. We focus on the celebration of Holy Communion but the reading and study of scripture, and therefore preaching and teaching, is regarded as important at StB. Our music is a mixture of modern and traditional. Our services are liturgical but with a light touch, and the clergy are robed for services.
All our services continue to be subject to strict infection control measures to keep you as safe and comfortable as we possibly can in this situation.
WHAT ARE OUR SERVICES LIKE?
Our services are lively and led by a worship band made up of up to five musicians. The group is led by Maureen and we have two singers, and an electro-acoustic style. We mix traditional hymns with music from an organ with modern music. There is an accent on preaching at St Barnabas. We try to involve children in the worship and in the music.
Each week we enjoy a cup of coffee or tea after the service served at the rear of the church.
We also hold a weekly bible study on Wednesdays at 1.30pm. From the Spring to the Autumn this is held in the church as part of an open church, but in the winter months it is held in the vicarage next door.
SOCIAL MEDIA
The church is now on social media in two ways. We have a group on Facebook called 'St Barnabas Church Eltham'. Just search for that and it will take you to our page. You may also wish to follow the vicar on Twitter @VicarStBEltham.
