Help and Support

Want to talk to someone?

Chat with the Vicar

Please contact Rev Indrea, or speak with her after the 10am St Stephen’s Sunday service, to arrange a time for a chat during the week at either the Parish office, or for a coffee at a local cafe.

People’s Warden

Anyone is welcome to contact the People’s Warden if you have any questions or concerns and you’re not sure who to speak to. They’ll be able to either help you or point you in the right direction.

Prayer support

Prayer Chain

If you’d like to receive prayer from the parish prayer chain, please contact Ngaire on 03 308 4103. Prayer requests can be anonymous if you’d prefer.

Sunday prayer time in the Chapel

During the 10am St Stephen’s Sunday service, while communion is being shared, the chapel is made available for anyone that wants prayer. Someone will be there if you’d like to receive prayer for yourself or someone else, or you’re welcome to just take a moment to pray by yourself without needing to talk to anyone if you don’t want to. The space is yours to use as you need.
