St. Barnabas Young People, Ngongotaha.
We worship at St. Barnabas and meet once a week on Sunday. We gather during the adult sermon and usually do some activity related to the readings. We’d like the church to pray for the world. There is a general concern for the world wide problems as is often featured on T.V. – i.e. famine, war, floods, terrorism, plus concern and thanksgiving for their families.
