FASTS, FEASTS
AND FESTIVALS
We have a number of special services throughout the year to mark various key dates in the church's calendar. These included Christmas and Easter Services.
We mark the holy fast of lent, with confessions on Shrove Tuesday and a penitential service on Ash Wednesday.
In addition a Lent Study group meets each year.
Holy Week and Easter are in their turn marked with a variety of services, reflecting the themes and nature of the different events comemorated at this holy time.
DAILY PRAYER
An essential part of life for all Christians is PRAYER. This may be private or public, alone or corporately, formally or informally, what matters is that above all we draw ourselves closer to God through this important discipline.
Part of the Church's life has always been a round of daily services. In The Church of England we traditonaly say the Offices of Morning Prayer (or Matins) and Evening Prayer (or Evensong). These can be said alone at home, out on the move, or together in Church.
These Offices are said most days by the Vicar, but as yet there are no set times. However Morning Prayer is said every day at 9.15am at St John the Baptist, Chipping Barnet, these services are open to all.
If you would like to say these services yourselves you can find them either in a traditional form in the 'Book of Common Prayer,' or in a modern form in 'Common Worship.' The services are also available daily at:
http://www.churchofengland.org/prayer-worship/join-us-in-daily-prayer.aspx
This can be accessed from any computer or phone with an internet conection and will provide you with a whole service for any morning or evening, every day of the year.
As you pray to God, please pray for the work and ministry of St Stephen's Church.
Thank you.
