Church Service Details
Live Worship at St Stephen's
We continue to hold services at St Stephen's. We have many elderly and vulnerable people in our congregation so you are asked to respect our COVID precautions.
The points to remember are
- To be sensitive to those who are wary or still shielding, please continue to wear face masks while in the building.
- Please use hand sanitiser on arrival.
- The service will be shorter at about 45 minutes
- Windows will be open to increase ventilation so expect to keep your coat on if it is cold
- Please do NOT attend if you are showing any COVID symptoms
There will be a service at St Stephen's every Sunday. Some weeks there will also be a 3pm phone/Zoom service. Details are in the table below.

Phone Worship
A few services will be conducted on Zoom and telephone. Mostly this will be led by
Revd Nigel with readings, prayers, etc contributed by people
from St Stephen's. You just need a telephone (landline or mobile) or internet access.
The access numbers will be the same every week. If you need any help with accessing the service please ring Alison, Roger, Eric or Val W.
The service will start at 3pm on Sunday afternoons and will last about 30 minutes.
The cost will be whatever you would normally pay for a 30 minutes national call at the weekend. The service will
include singing of hymns (as loud as you like, you're in your own home and only God is listening) so
have a copy of Singing the Faith to hand if you can.
