STAY HOME PROTECT THE NHS SAVE LIVES
The Vicar, Wardens and PCC have decided to close St Stephen’s Church building and suspend services until further notice in response to the current public health emergency.
Keep us, good Lord, under the shadow of your mercy.
Sustain and support the anxious, be with those who care for the sick,
and lift up all who are brought law;
that we may find comfort knowing that nothing can separate us from your love.
In Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.
