At St Stephen’s, our spiritual life is the heartbeat of our community. We want this page to be a window into our reflections - a place where we can share the wisdom of the Christian faith while celebrating the perspectives of all our families. We hope these weekly themes offer a moment for your family to talk together about the values that connect us all.
How can we get ready for Easter by looking at Jesus’ example?
As we begin the season of Lent, we are looking at how we can get ready for Easter by following Jesus’ example. This week, we explored the story of Jesus in the desert (Matthew 4:1–11). In the Christian tradition, this story shows Jesus being tempted to take the easy way out or to use his power selfishly. However, Jesus chose to stay true to his purpose and rely on God for strength.
Jesus said, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find” (Matthew 7:7).
I have found prayer to be a quiet but powerful gift in the midst of a busy and often unpredictable life. It reminds us that we are not alone, and it genuinely makes a difference in our hearts, our homes, and in the things we face.
As both a parent and a priest, with two children here at St Stephen’s, I would love to pray with you for our school, our children, and anything you may be facing. Whether prayer is familiar to you or something you are curious to explore, you are very welcome.
We are pleased to launch our parent prayer group, beginning next week! After this first session, we will resume regularly following the Easter break.
When: 9:00am – 9:45am
Where: Please meet outside the Chertsey Road entrance, where I will greet you and sign you in.
