Senior Ministries
St Barnabas Church Stoke supports our Senior Parishioners through the programmes shown below.
Tea, Cake & Conversation
Tea, Cake and Conversation is a social group that meets in the Church Foyer between 2.00pm and 4.00pm every 2nd and 4th Friday of the month.
There is usually a theme with activities or guest speakers provide helpful information. Discussion topics for the group to participate in may include food and recipes, quizzes, books or activities to stimulate the body, mind and soul.
We have found during this time, that as Parishioners, we create bonds, gain strength in one another and have some quality time together.
Tea is served in fine china along with delicious sandwiches and baking which helps bring a sense of occasion.
Wednesday Reflective Service
Each Wednesday at 10.30am, we hold a mid-week service. This is a further opportunity for spiritual growth (especially for those for those who find it difficult to attend the Sunday Services).
Communion is celebrated and after the service, Linda and Peter, host a time of fellowship and a delicious morning tea.
While mainly aimed at our Senior congregation ALL are welcome and we encourage people to invite family and friends along.
Pastoral Care
St Barnabas offers Pastoral Care Visits. A visit can be for various reasons but generally provides an opportunity for us to support our parishioners who are unable to attend church. This can be a time of fellowship and prayer and allows you to discuss your support or spiritual needs with us.
Visits can be arranged through our admin office - contact details below.
