LIFE groups are back!  24th Jan, 7th Feb, 21st Feb & 7th Mar

Following Jesus is all about living life in all it’s fullness, it’s about giving up our lives to follow him and about sharing our struggles in life with each other. LIFE groups are the place to do this. Each week we come together to worship, pray and have some Bible teaching or group discussion.

It’s a safe place to be supported, to grow and be challenged – and there’s always food! Come along to the Church every other Tuesday night from  7.30pm-9.00pm, as we hold our LIFE group. This sermon series is about the Good News? What is the gospel & how do i share it? After the current sermon series we’ll look to make small home groups around the area – our LIFE groups of the church!

Everyone is welcome!

Coming soon – LIFE groups

Following Jesus is all about living life in all it’s fullness, it’s about giving up our lives to follow him and about sharing our struggles in life with each other. LIFE groups are the place to do this. Each week we come together to worship, pray and have some Bible teaching or group discussion.

It’s a safe place to be support, grow and be challenged – and there’s always food! Come along to the Church on the 27th Sept 7pm-8.30pm, as we launch the altogether LIFE group – after the current sermon series we’ll look to make small home groups around the area – our LIFE groups of the church!

Everyone is welcome!

From the 25th September through to the 20th November we are having a new sermon series: Life in the Spirit. It’s all about how we can life our lives in the power and gifts of the Spirit, our everyday lives hearing and being obedient to God…

It’s an exciting term ahead for us all! Come along and hear what God has to say to you. We are all different and all have been given different gifts, God is the same and loves to give good gifts so that’s what we’ll be exploring over the next 9 weeks. How do we know what are gifts are? How can we grow in them? and how can we be filled with the Spirit everyday?

There is a really exciting new opportunity to serve here at St Stephen’s! We are looking for a creative team member to develop our engagement with Southmead families and children sharing the Gospel of the good news of Jesus.

If you have a love for Jesus and young families, a desire to reach those that don’t yet know Jesus and a passion for sharing the Bible’s truth then this could be the role for you! We are looking for someone to recruit, train and support volunteers who can join you and the rest of the team in this role.

The closing date for the receipt of applications is 12 noon Friday 16th September, with interviews on Monday 27th September. Please see the links for the advert, person specification and the application form.

We’re hosting Alpha again this July. Check out the page for more details.

It’s a great way to engage with the big questions of life… to find out who Jesus is and how getting to know God can change your life.

Alpha is a series of interactive sessions to explore life and the Christian faith in a friendly, open and informal environment. Alpha consists of eight sessions, looking at topics including ‘Who is Jesus?’ and ‘Why and how do I pray?’. At Alpha we meet for dinner, hear a short talk and then finish with a discussion where you can share your thoughts.

Alpha is for everyone; no question is out of bounds and you are free to discuss as much or as little as you wish. We don’t assume any background knowledge of, or belief in Christianity, and everyone is welcome.

Our next course starts on Tuesday 19th July 2016. For more information please get in touch with us via the contact page.

We are looking forward to welcoming Fonthill, Littlemead and Badocks Wood schools to St Stephen’s next week to experience the Christmas story in an interactive way. We are also open to the people of Southmead on the Wednesday evening starting at 4.30pm.

The third in our ‘Immeasurably More’ Sermon series in the morning.
