individual worship and reflection. There is no sermon at this service.

“I find it very moving to attend this service every week
and know that these words have been used here for hundreds of
years. It's a very warm and peaceful atmosphere and
the dazzling effect of the sun rising behind the stained
glass East window only happens at this early service.”

Sunday 9.15am St Stephen’s

Worship Sung Eucharist
This service is available every week (aside from the first
Sunday in the month when it is All Age Worship) and includes a robed
choir and hymns led by the organ. A small all age Sunday School is also
available. The clergy wear robes and there is a sermon.

“The 9.15 service is a Heineken service because it reaches
parts that, during a busy working week, nothing else can. A time to
reflect, worship, listen and pray - a perfect way to start the week.”

Sung
Holy Communion at All Saints’, Ockbrook
A traditional service with robed choir and hymns led by the
organ. There is a short talk and an opportunity to receive Holy
Communion.

“Although I enjoy the lively 11am services, where we worship with the younger
members of our church family, I really appreciate the evening Holy
Communion service. This service gives me the opportunity to be still
before God, and gives me time and space to reflect – it can provide an
oasis of peace, in what can be quite a busy life.”

Wednesday 10am St Stephen’s, Borrowash
Holy
Communion
This friendly morning service is popular with both retired
people and homemakers, since the gentle rhythm of the spoken liturgy and
the close surroundings of the choir stalls make for a welcoming family
atmosphere. The social time after the service is almost as popular as the
service itself!
|
“As I walk into St Stephen’s on Wednesday morning, the
lovely vibrant colours of this beautiful little church creates in me a
sense of peace and renewal which grow as I become surrounded by so many
warm greetings.” Jean Ogden
