For the creative

	The music team The team consist of a group of musicians at the church who help to lead the worship for each service on a rota basis.  There are keyboard players, and woodwind instrumentalists, together with guitarists. The group is always looking for more people who really want to lead people in worship and praise God through music.  If this is something that you would like to do then contact Sarah, our Music Team Coordinator, at office@stbarnabasleeds.org.uk
	The choir This is an occasional group, coming together to lead singing in our worship for special events (such as Easter) or simply because it's been a while since they were together! There is also a young choir 'Encouragers'.  Some of our younger members form a group that works alongside the music team for joint and special services.  No previous experience necessary, just a bucket load of enthusiasm! For more information on these contact Sarah at office@stbarnabasleeds.org.uk
	Flower arrangers Our flower arranging team produces wonderful floral displays for the church. For more information contact Helen at office@stbarnabasleeds.org.uk

Housegroups

	General Our housegroups are an important part of our church life.  Smaller groups of people meet in each others' homes to study the Bible together, share thoughts and experiences, pray together and enjoy each others' company. The role of housegroups cannot be underestimated in helping us to grow in our faith and share our faith.  They allow people to explore the Christian faith and apply it to their lives in far more detail than the Sunday services sometimes allow.
	Housegroup meetings Monday evening (2 groups) Tuesday morning Wednesday evening
