St Margaret’s Church Welcomes Revd Canon Ben Whitmore St Margaret’s Church, Great Barr is delighted to announce the arrival of Revd Canon Ben Whitmore as its new minister. Canon Ben will be formally licensed during a special service on Sunday 26th April at 5:00pm. This important occasion marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the life of our church, and we warmly invite all members of the community to join us in celebrating. The licensing service will be a joyful and meaningful event, offering an opportunity to gather in worship, give thanks, and look forward to the future under Canon Ben’s leadership. Following the service, there will be a chance to meet Canon Ben and extend a personal welcome. Whether you are a regular member of the congregation, a friend of the church, or simply curious to come along, you will be most welcome. We look forward to sharing this special occasion with you.
Children @ Church Although St Margaret's were hoping to restart Children @ Church services in September 2025, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been unable to find someone to cover these services on a regular basis. Sadly, this means the Children @ Church services will not be taking place for the foreseeable future.
As soon as the church has found cover, the details of proposed services will be put on the Children @ Church page. We are so sorry to disappoint those who enjoy attending and hope they will bear with us.
From Monday 29 April, please note that there will be cabling works being carried out and Pinfold Lane will be closed for 2 weeks - access to frontages only. From Friday 17 May, Chapel Lane will be closed between Coronation Road and Pinfold Lane for 9 weeks - access to frontages only..
