Lent & Easter

We look forward to seeing you, your family and friends at our many services where together we prepare during Lent to celebrate Easter - choral, contemplative, family-friendly or just joyful seasonal worship, there is a service to suit every mood.

Our regular service takes place in St Stephen's from 10:45am on Sundays, with an earlier service taking place at our sister church of St, Mary's, Charlcombe at 9:00am.  You'll find details of these and more below and in our calendar.

LENT COURSES

You are most welcome to join either of the three small groups looking at a series of reflections on prayer, including the Lord's Prayer and our own prayer journey.

Two of the groups will meet in St Stephen's Church (Monday afternoon and Tuesday evening), with the third taking place at the Rectory on Wednesday evening.  Contact us for more details.
