On Saturday 24th January, a crowd gathered at St Stephen's to celebrate Burns-tide with a BIG Brunch.We enjoy fantastic food and fellowship and experienced the traditional Piping in and Ode to the Haggis. For the brave, there was even a taster and a dram of whiskey to wash it down! A great time was had by all.
On 18th October, St Stephen's hosted its first ever Race Night.With 6 horse races and 2 live pig races, the competitive spirit was certainly brought out in all those who took part.A great night of fun, food and fellowship was enjoyed by all.
On Saturday 9th August, a congregation of 2 and 4 legged worshippers gathered outside St Stephen's for our annual Pet Blessing Service. We even welcomed Tilly, our first tortoise!We enjoyed plenty of singing/barking/howling and reflected on the gift God gives us in our companion animals and all his wonderful creation.The service was followed by some well-deserved refreshment and treats for all.
A group of hardy souls spent 2 nights in the elements either sleeping on the church roof or in the grounds to raise money for the Raise the Roof campaign.A great time was had by all as we enjoyed food, fun and fellowship together.It is hoped that the Sleepover will become an annual event for St Stephen's - perhaps on tera firma next time!
