General
We are a family church and make provision for everyone and their needs. As a parent you are welcome to visit any of our kids programs, sessions for youth, and post-high school young adults.
To cater for your needs, you may want to be involved in a home group or specific group for Mums.
We usually hold a family picnic each year around March on a Sunday afternoon after the morning church service. This is a great occasion enjoyed by many families.
Every two years we hold a parish fair on a Saturday morning. Many locals enjoy coming along to have a go at the coconut shy, grab some candyfloss or a sausage sizzle, as well as get a bargain at the book stall, white elephant, cake stall and many more.
Usually once or twice a year a quiz night, barn dance or similar is held. These are always enjoyable family occasions.

Christianity Explored is for anyone who wants to investigate Christianity informally with a group of other people.
Whether you have previous experience of Church, Christians and the Bible, or none at all, this course is for you. Everyone is welcome - from the most sympathetic Sunday schooler to the convinced atheist. We will respect your background, culture and beliefs. Tell us as little or as much about yourself as you feel comfortable.
Our next course will be run from 19 August 2010. It will run for six weeks on Thursday evenings from 7 - 9pm.
For more information or to RSVP contact the church office or http://www.christianityexplored.org/faq/ce/
Scripture Union
"Thy word is a lamp unto my feet"
We have a Scripture Union Representative at St Stephen's and you can order bible reading notes through them, just as many of our church members do. You can find great encouragement in reading a passage of the bible each day with an accompanying commentary which explains and informs, and also includes a daily prayer.
Here are a few examples from the wide selection of Scripture Union notes:
| TIDDLYWINKS |
for under 5 year olds |
| SNAPSHOTS |
for 9 to 10yrs |
| ONE UP |
for 11 to 14yrs |
| DAILY BREAD |
Real inspiration 24/7 |
| CLOSER TO GOD |
Bible readings with an emphasis on renewal. |
| ENCOUNTER WITH GOD |
For readers who want a thoughtful, in-depth approach to bible reading. |
There are many other alternatives and our representative is happy to discuss these with you.
