  It was wonderful to see so many at St Barnabas last Sunday (8th June 2025) for a poignant and moving final service, in which we said goodbye to the building of St Barnabas, on a site where we have worshipped together since 1911.  Here are a few photos of this special morning, which saw members of the congregation from across the decades come together in that church for one last time. This Sunday, 15th June 2025, we launch our new church of All Saints and St Barnabas, located out of All Saints Church, Kenley. There will be a new entrance into the building and other changes to signify this major change in our church life together. Here is a first glimpse of the side chapel at All Saints Kenley, furnished with the altar from St Barnabas, all ready for our first service as the new Church of All Saints and St Barnabas. All are welcome to our 10am service.

You are warmly invited to join us in this poignant last service, followed by lunch and refreshments, to share your memories of our church and celebrate the community that we have built here over the past century. We hope to see many faces from over the years, so please do share with anyone connected with the church who you think might be interested in attending.

St Barnabas Festival, Sunday 9 th June 2024 St Barnabas, Purley Patronal Festival takes place on 9th June 2024. The Bishop of Southwark will be presiding at the 10am service and staying for the outdoor festival afterwards, with a ‘bring and share’ lunch.  We would love to see as many people as possible at the service and to stay for the fun afterwards.   This will be a poignant occasion for the community, as we have asked the Church Commissioners to carry out a consultation on the closure of St Barnabas church and this may be the last time we celebrate St Barnabas Day on this site. It is sure to be a joyous occasion and a celebration of over 100 happy years on Higher Drive.   We sincerely hope to see you at St Barnabas on the day. Please extend this invitation to friends and parishioners past and present, who may be keen to attend. We would love to see as many faces as possible.
