For many who have lost a loved one, this can be a time of tremendous loneliness. Others may have lost a relationship, an aspect of their health, a job, or have had a setback of some kind. And instead of being a time of merriment and joy, the season can be filled with pain, anxiety, or fear.
Wherever you are in the emotional roller coaster of the season—whether you are feeling low or want to be in solidarity with those who might be—join us for a Blue Christmas at Evensong this Sunday at 6pm.
The service will consist of readings from scripture and poetry, music, and prayers.

St Stephen with St John, Rochester Row

Welcome to St Stephen with St John, Rochester Row, Westminster. We are a flourishing parish church in the heart of London. At St Stephen's you will find not only a beautiful building with an interesting history, but a friendly and very mixed community of people, most of whom live locally, who come together week by week to worship God.

In a part of the world where, very reasonably, many churches have ‘specialist’ ministries of one sort or another, we like to think of ourselves as a non-specialist church – a local parish church, with a style of worship that is dignified but relaxed, and brings together people of widely different backgrounds.

We are a church where children and their families have a valued place, and to which a good number of single people belong. We have people who have long experience as members of the church and others for whom this is still a new experience. We hope we are a church whose convictions are strong, and that knows the importance of living with questions. We want to be a church where we can come to worship God, in order that we can be better equipped to live our lives faithfully in our daily occupations in the wider world.
