Everyone welcome! # Welcome back worship & Epiphany ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_9469.jpeg) 5 January 2026 It was a joy to gather for this morning’s Welcome Back and Epiphany Worship. Just how did the news of the arrival of Jesus 'the light of the world' spread beyond Bethlehem? Today we heard from the Diocese as part of the Living out God's big story, the story of the Wise Men visiting Jesus and why the Feast of Epiphany is so important. Jesus was a gift sent by God that needed to be shared with everyone. We reflected on our God given gifts and how we should celebrate them. We then filled the hall with the joyous singing of our favorite worship songs in celebration of being back together again after the Christmas break. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_9469.jpeg) [Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/worship) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_9441.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-04-welcome-back-weather-warning) Previous ### [Welcome back & weather warning ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-04-welcome-back-weather-warning) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-BB213FBE-0B8A-4771-AD92-4716F72D653B.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-06-year-3-history-from-tudors-to-today-how-childhood-has-changed) Next ### [Year 3 - History-From Tudors to Today: How Childhood Has Changed](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-06-year-3-history-from-tudors-to-today-how-childhood-has-changed) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
