Join us for a quiet, reflective service in the style of Taizé, with gentle music, silence, and prayer. It will be a peaceful space to pause, listen, and be still in God’s presence.

This summer, churches across Birmingham are offering a series of Taizé-style services. We’re pleased to be part of this, and look forward to welcoming you to the service at St Barnabas.

All are welcome – whether you are familiar with Taizé or simply curious to experience this gentle form of worship.
