The life and spirituality of
older people is valued in our parish and we cherish the faithfulness of many
who are maybe now too frail to come to church regularly.
Midweek Communion
St Stephen’s 10am
Wednesday
This morning communion welcomes a number of older people who find the
busy-ness of Sunday mornings too much and prefer the sedate pace of the
spoken service. Sitting in the choir stalls often helps with audibility
too. Lifts can be arranged for those with transport difficulties, who may
wish to attend this service.
Briar Close House Residential Home
1st Wednesday every month, 7pm
(Moravian service 3rd Wed each month)
We hold a service in the main lounge of the home and encourage residents
to attend to enjoy the hymn singing, bible readings, discussion and
prayers. For many these services are the only opportunity to meet with
other Christians to worship and pray. We are building good relationships
among the residents and staff and very much enjoy the time we spend
there.
Pastoral visiting
We have a team of Christian visitors who are happy to come and see
you at home if you are isolated and unable to get out and about. They
will come for a chat and maybe a cup of tea, always finding time to sit
and pray with you before they leave.
Home Communion
If you are ill, or confined to your home and would like to receive
Home Communion, please contact one of the clergy.
