New Year's Greeting

St Barnabas Anglican Church Warrington/Waitati, New Year 2020

We welcome you warmly to St. Barnabas Church Warrington/Waitati. Our service is at 9.30 am every Sunday including an Eucharist followed by a cup of tea in the Church Lounge.

Now a little about our ourselves and the history of the church.

Jeremy Nicoll, our priest-in charge, gratefully acknowledges the support of Roger Barker in recent years. Roger came out of retirement for a third time, in order to take at least one service a month and more on some occasions. His deep theological understanding, scholarship and humour have contributed to many memorable sermons.

Music continues to be a strong feature of St Barnabas with two regular organists, Alistair Wright and Rowena Park, and several enthusiastic singers amongst the congregation.

For over 145 years we have continued to hold services every Sunday. In recent years our worship has been followed by fellowship over morning tea. Each year we welcome back friends who join us for the holiday seasons.

St Barnabas has an Historic Place Category 2 listing and is considered to be of “architectural, historical and spiritual significance.”  We have been extremely grateful to the Paterson family trust and the Callis family trust in recent years for enabling the addition of the new toilet and the carpark steps.

St Barnabas church has a small, loyal congregation which hopes to continue to maintain the building, the graveyard and the service it offers the community. We contribute regularly to the food bank and other charitable organizations such as the Christmas special hamper initiative and Anglican Family Care.  

We wish you and your families a peaceful Christmas season and happiness in the New Year.
