Sunday 20th September - 15th Sunday after Trinity
Good Morning & welcome all to our Sunday Gathering - in church AND ONLINE
This morning’s service comes from Holy Trinity, Hotwells. Alex will be leading the service this morning with, music, readings & prayers and the talk from Laura, all streamed Live on Facebook at 10:30am.
Our bible readings for today are Exodus 16.2-15 and Matthew 20.1-16
As we are now streaming the live service from church you may just wish to enjoy watching and listening to the words (liturgy). At Holy Trinity you will be able to follow the church screen at times but this is not possible at Saint Stephen’s. If you would prefer to follow along more closely please download the service booklet linked below.
“Whether we choose to return to meeting or staying online or something else it does not mean we are going back. Together we are going forward. Forward into the unknown and unfamiliar but we are not alone on that journey - as it has always been and will be – with Jesus leading the way.
Love & Prayers, Lee”
** UPDATE - a recording of the service has now been added below **
If you are watching from home and missing seeing people from church, is there someone you can make contact with to see if they fancy joining you for a chat on WhatsApp / Zoom / Facetime or the telephone after the Live Stream service? Grab a coffee and have a catch up much like you would in church on a Sunday morning. If you are not sure who you could make contact with please speak to Vicar Lee or one of the churchwardens (Dave, Jeanette, Maria or Alan) and we will see what we can arrange for you.
