We are pleased to announce being awarded the Eco Church Gold Award.We thank our Eco team for the extremely hard work they have put into this and the support given by the PCC and congregation. This award has been noted by the media.
When babies and children are baptised, they are given a knitted teddy bear with it's own name.Last Sunday, much fun was had at the first Teddy Bear's Picnic held at St. Stephen's Church.Unfortunately, the weather prevented the picnic from being held outside in the churchyard as planned. However, the activities were transferred inside with picnics in the pews, refreshments in the kitchen, and games, including a treasure hunt, and find the teddy's heart located at various points inside the church. Many children brought their teddy bears to join in the fun!
We had a good number of visitors to theses afternoon teas. Lots of chat, making new acquaintances and good food. Thanks to all who attended and to those who provided and served the food.
