Barnabas Fellowship
Meets on Tuesday afternoons at 2.15pm to 3.30pm in The Stables Lounge.
Firstly a devotional meeting for men or women of any age who want to come and share friendship, a chance to chat and make friends over a cup of tea.
We open with a time of worship and then we have interesting speakers, ranging from representatives of Christian charities, such as Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen (the Fishermen's Mission), the Bible Society, African Prisons' Project etc., to more local speakers from different churches and organisations including LRBC.
Every year we raise funds for various charities, usually alternating between overseas and local. We also support charities such as those mentioned above by bring and buy sales.
We enjoy fish and chip lunches, cream teas and outings.
The meeting is open to all, whether members of Leigh Road Baptist Church or not, or indeed whether or not you are members of any church. We are a very friendly group, and we are actively looking for new members, especially those just post retirement.
