This week at St. Paul and St Stephen's...

This is an event for all ages, but particularly suitable for families with children, with worship, craft, games, music and lots more. A hands-on way of exploring faith together, followed by a simple lunch.

The Gloucester Child Contact Centre provides a safe and neutral place where children can enjoy the company of adults from whom they are separated.

Quiet and small; we don’t (usually!) sing hymns at this service but we do have a sermon!

We currently have between 70 and 90 people, including a number of children, worshiping together on a Sunday morning. There are groups for children, apart from on the first Sunday of the month when we all worship together.

We sing a mix of contemporary worship songs and traditional hymns, led by a music group on the 1st, 3rd and 5th Sundays of the month and accompanied by the organ on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month.

Afterwards, we stay for coffee and chat.

A few of us come together in the side chapel and we use the liturgy from Common Worship Daily Prayer.

We stay together after morning prayer for about half an hour to read the week’s gospel passage and to explore it using this ancient form of bible study.

We are working in conjunction with The Independence Trust (https://www.independencetrust.co.uk/) to provide weekly 'drop-in' sessions where everyone is welcome to drop in for information, advice, guidance and collection of food.
