Prayer

Prayer is vital to all we do as a church and is a central part of Sunday services, Life Groups, all of our events and activities, and any day in the church office. There are also regular times when we gather as a church to pray for St Stephen’s and our community and world.

The Prayer Chapel

The prayer chapel is a space set aside for members of St Stephen’s for prayer 24-7, every day of the week except before and during the services on Sunday.

There are several ways to spend time in this space:

• Book a personal slot

• Book a slot with your Life Group or friends to pray together

• Just turn up and join in one of the set times of prayer listed below

To book time in the Prayer Chapel and for more information please click the button at the bottom of the page.
