The Barn Church annual Christmas Frost Fair returns – as will Santa Claus!
Join us for craft stalls and activities, mulled wine and live music. We’re delighted that the Little Kew Nursery will be joining us this year with some great activities for the little ones.
Our Benefice Youth Group is for all youngsters who are in Year Five and above. It’s a space for them to grow up together, where they can be curious about God and church and the world.
Are you a crafter or creative looking for opportunities in the next few months?
The Barn Church’s annual Christmas ‘Frost Fair’ is a lovely space and great place to sell your wares. It’s always popular and a lot of fun. This year’s Fair will take place on Saturday 30 November 2024. If you’d like a stall, please contact Felice at events.barnchurch@kewbenefice.org for more information.
Everyone is welcome to join us for our Holy Week services and activities.
Holy Week is a journey from Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, through the events of the Last Supper and Garden of Gethsemane to the Cross and on to the joy and wonder of Easter Sunday.
We would love you to join us for this journey, or for as much of it as you are able to manage. Most of our services are suitable for older children, and we would love them to participate in the week with us. Please note that many of our services are Benefice Services, and a number are held at St Luke’s Church on the Avenue.
