Eco award for village church
www.keighleynews.co.uk
A VILLAGE church has won recognition for its environmental efforts.
St Stephen’s would absolutely love to welcome you, your friends and your family into our church community. Come and worship with us on Sunday mornings at 10 am, and at other special days throughout the year. Our main Holy Communion services on Sundays are in a more traditional style with robed ministers and our choir with organ accompaniment. We use the Common Worship materials.
Free refreshments are served afterwards in the Church Hall.
Amidst all the uncertainty of life, the good news of the Christian faith is that God loves you for being the unique, special, individual that you are. None of us have to worry about being perfect in mind, body or spirit before we can respond to God’s invitation to ‘come and see.’
Our hope and prayer is that we can help your spirit soar, your heart to sing and your soul to find rest by God’s love and grace through his Son Jesus Christ.
For further information on our Sunday morning Holy Communion services please follow this link: fb.me/e/4SQK8Hzs6
Are you able to contribute some of your time and talents to the work of the church? Please complete our form - get a copy from church or print it out. And please return to St Stephen's.
--Many thanks to those who already help; we would be grateful if you could still complete this survey, please, so we have up-to-date information on what everybody does. The following pages summarise roles that are very important at St Stephen's. As many of our members who wish to have the opportunity are encouraged to support existing teams and contribute their skills, knowledge and experience to benefit the wider church family.
--If you are willing to help in any of these roles, you already give your time, or if you are interested in finding out more about individual roles, please indicate via the tick boxes. Someone already involved will get in touch and give you more information as needed. There might already be sufficient people doing a particular role, but it would be helpful to have a list of those willing to fill in or be called upon later.
--Please also let us know if there are any other interests or gifts you feel you might be able to offer, and if there are any areas of ministry not listed that you would like to explore.
--Many thanks for all you do to support our church community.
