The Faith and Friendship Group is open to all members of St. Barnabas Church, and indeed, to anyone in the wider community.  We meet monthly, often on the third Tuesday evening of the month, usually at St. Barnabas, but occasionally at a member’s home.  In the group, we try to encourage one another in our growth as Christians, and we always include prayer and worship in our meetings.  Meetings have various formats:  some are casual get-togethers when we Stitch and Pray; sometimes we meet for special worship services such as a Christmas Quiet Night and a Lenten Home Eucharist.

​

Many of those who attend our meetings belong to a world-wide fellowship called Mothers’ Union.  There has been an active Mothers’ Union branch at St. Barnabas Church since 1984.

 

There are more than four million members of Mothers’ Union today in 84 countries around the world.  The aims and objectives of the Mothers’ Union are:

​

• To encourage parents in their role to develop the faith of their children

• To maintain a worldwide fellowship of Christians united in prayer, worship and service

• To promote conditions in society favourable to stable family life and the protection of children

• To help those whose family life has met with adversity

• To promote and support married life
