Monthly activities
24 hour prayer: Every first weekend of the month, we dedicated 24 hours to prayer from 6pm Saturday to 6pm Sunday. A sign up sheet is available from the week before, so you can put your name down to pray for an hour, either from the church prayer room, or at home if you prefer. Speak to Sarah W to find out more.
Unite: For 11–18s (year 7+), speak to Hannah R or Adam for more details.
Community activities
Our sister charity, SHINE West Bowling, operates out of the church building and is busy throughout the week for community activities. Visit the Community page to learn more. If you need to contact SHINE, please call 01274 738490 or visit www.shinewestbowling.co.uk
We also run events and activities focussed on the Parkside estate in West Bowling. We always love to have more people join in helping, whether that’s serving hot chocolates at a community event in the park, delivering flyers or carol singing! Speak to Jimmy or Stuart to find out more.
St Stephen’s Church is a Warm Hub
Monday – Friday, 10am – 3pm
If you’re finding it hard to keep warm and heat your home in the winter, come and spend time in the church.
We have tea, toast and toys, so you can bring your children too.
