What’s on
Sunday worship is just the start of our parish life together. We have an active Sunday School that meets every Sunday during term, a monthly walking group and youth club, the St Barnabas Singers, a programme of church visits and pilgrimages, and other social and community events throughout the year. For details on the youth club and children’s events, please email us.
Corpus Christi procession
On Thursday 19 June we will be celebrating Corpus Christi with the Clergy and people of St Matthew’s Bethnal Green. We will begin at 6pm at St Barnabas before processing down Roman Road and Bethnal Green Road behind a brass band and ending with a short service followed by refreshments at St Matthew’s.
If you would like to learn to sing Mozart’s ‘Ave Verum Corpus’ which will be sung at that service, there will be a rehearsal on Wednesday 18 June at 6pm at St Matthews. All Welcome!
