On Sunday 30th November 2025 Bishop Roger will be coming to lead worship at our 11am service of Holy Communion. Bishop Roger will also be blessing our newly reordered chancel and wedding kneelers made by members of our congregation in memory of Alex, our former churchwarden.

At this service we will also be collecting toys for the Salvation Army to distribute to families in the Colchester area in need. They need to be new and unwrapped. This is so that the Salvation Army can ensure they are good condition and are given to young people of suitable age/ gender.

Do come along and meet Bishop Roger, hear him preach and later view our reordered chancel over seasonal refreshments.

Everyone in the community and beyond will be most welcome, whether you are regular church goer or not.

Whether you are a young person or young at heart, do come and and join us for our Christingle Service at St Stephens on Sunday 14th December at 11 am. A warm welcome, fun activities and refreshments afterwards.

Why not start your Christmas festivities by joining us at St Stephen's for our annual Festival of Lessons and Carols on the afternoon of Sunday21st December at 3 pm. Once again we hope that the excellent musicians which played for us last year will be joining us again for promises to be a hugely enjoyable afternoon. Everyone is very welcome and the service will be followed by seasonal refreshments.
