bullet.gif (903 bytes)Change of service times

From 10th September 2006 the parish of St Stephen's and St Wulstan's changed the pattern of its services to provide a wider range of options on a Sunday morning.

Instead of having two services both held at 10.30am, one at St Stephen's and one at St Wulstan's, we now offer a choice of times to suit different people's needs and preferences.

The service at St Stephen's will now move slightly earlier, to 10.00am, whereas here at St Wulstan's we will be meeting at 11.30am.

Coffee will be served before the 11.30 service, to allow people to meet together before we worship together.

Activities for children will be provided during the 10.00am service at St Stephen's, whereas the 11.30 service at St Wulstan's will have a rather quieter feel - though we are very happy to welcome everyone, young or old, to all our services.
