COMING UP THIS spring
Newish Morning Tea
If you consider yourself new to St Stephen’s, then we want to welcome you. We run Newish Morning Teas throughout the term to help people get their bearings, meet staff and other new people and take a step further into church life.
Why not visit a 9:30 am service and join us straight after at one of our upcoming morning teas this Spring.
Spring Dates:
- 25 October
- 29 November
Come and See
Mondays, 7 pm -8:30 pm
Starts 12 October 2026
Come and See is perfect for anyone who has done Alpha and wants to know how to live the life they were made to live.
Jesus made one of the biggest claims ever when he said: “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John’s Gospel, Chapter 10, Verse 10)
Whether you’re still asking life’s big questions, looking for a fresh start, or new to the Christian faith, Come & See is a chance to get together with others and see what the Bible says about Jesus and the life he offers. No prior knowledge or experience is required. Come and see!
Ministry Fair
11 October 2026
After the 9:30 am and Night Church Services
Free food provided
Come and get a taste of the many ministry opportunities at St Stephen’s, and consider how God might use you to help build his kingdom in 2027.
At St Stephen’s, we believe that serving is part of how we worship Jesus—a joyful response to all he has done for us. Whether you’re ready to serve or simply exploring the possibilities, the Ministry Fair is a great place to begin.
Week of Prayer
12-16 October 2026
“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful.” (Col 4:2)
Week of Prayer is for our whole St Stephen’s church family to come before our heavenly Father in prayer and commit the year before us to Him. We are weak and dependent, but through Christ, we have a loving Father who delights to hear us.
Every night we will meet from 7:30 pm to 8:30 pm (1- 2 pm on Friday) in the Chapel Hall. You might want to come with your GaP group on the night you usually meet, or you may want to come multiple nights. Everyone is welcome as we bring our church ministries and members before our loving God.
HPS Youth Sleepover
16–17 October 2026 | 6:30 pm Friday – 6:30 pm Saturday | Cost: $70
Night Church Weekend Away
23-25 October 2026
Get ready for a refreshing weekend away with our Night Church community!
Whether you’re new to Night Church or have been part of the community for years, Weekend Away is a wonderful opportunity to step out of the usual routine, enjoy time together, deepen friendships, and grow in faith as we gather around God’s Word.
This year, we’re heading to Galston Conference Centre, just 45 minutes north of Willoughby. Surrounded by beautiful bushland, it’s a great place to slow down, enjoy God’s creation, and spend quality time together as a church family.
We’d love you to join us for what is always a highlight of the year!
Look Who's Coming to Lunch
1 November 2026
For our morning congregations.
Look Who’s Coming to Lunch is back! It’s a relaxed opportunity to share a meal and get to know others from our morning congregations a little better. Whether you’d like to attend a lunch or welcome others into your home as a host, we’d love you to take part.
