St Stephen’s Norbury and Thornton Heath
St Stephen’s is an Anglican (Church of England) Church in the liberal Catholic tradition. We are a friendly congregation drawn mainly from the local community and reflecting the rich diversity of this part of London.
We aim to be an inclusive church welcoming everyone, whatever their age, background, sexuality or relationship status and regardless of how much or how little faith they may have. Honest doubters and people with questions are positively welcomed! You will find unconditional welcome and blessing at St Stephen’s.
We have services at 10am on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Mass is also celebrated at 8am every Sunday. The 10am Mass on Sundays is live-streamed (https://www.facebook.com/ststephensNTH/live/).
Dear friends
This Sunday we will be remembering Bernard Mizeki (an Anglican saint very dear to us) and St Alban (Britain’s first Christian martyr), as well as keeping Windrush Sunday. Our 10am Sung Eucharist should be very special indeed, with wine/soft drinks served in the hall afterwards! If you’re unable to attend, I attach the order of service I’ve put together for this Sunday for you to peruse.
Newsletter and intercessions attached as per usual.
Please don’t forget our 1700th anniversary tlak on the Council of Nicaea which will be taking place next Friday 27th June in church at 7pm.
With prayers and best wishes,
Fr Daniel
