A WOLF MOON OVER ST STEPHEN'S

January's wolf moon spectacularly hovered behind St Stephen's!  Appropriately this phenomenon is about transformation, and strength forged in darkness before renewal arrives. So how very apt for the Beacon of Lansdown!  

You will be delighted to hear the update on the project's progress to date.

Since our launch last November, we’ve already raised in excess of £31k for this essential project.

With the help of this money we’re excited that we're:

• appointing an architectural firm to produce Stage 2 design ideas and illustrative sketches by end May ‘26, and
• starting the process of recruiting a part-time Beacon Project Director to drive the project forward.

And a Bath University student engineering/architectural team have been giving us their time and energy to work on ideas to maximise the sustainability of any designs, and will deliver their initial report in May ‘26.  The students are planning an OPEN EVENING at St Stephen's on TUESDAY 28 APRIL at 6.30 pm.  Watch out for more information on this event.

IT'S YOUR TIME TO GIVE US YOUR VIEWS!

St Stephen's Church and a Bath University student team from the architecture and engineering departments are working on an exciting sustainability project.  The student team are exploring a variety of innovative eco and sustainability initiatives which we hope to build into the Beacon of Lansdown project.  This is a fabulous cooperative programme with a world class university, enabling St Stephen's to work alongside a young and enthusiastic team who are keen to introduce our church to cutting edge eco and sustainability trends.

As part of this project the team have formulated a brief community survey and we'd love to hear your thoughts!

Complete the survey for a chance to win an Amazon voucher.  

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Mary Berry's fantastic talk, A Slice of Life, was a sell out. We raised in excess of £4k from the evening - a fantastic start to our Beacon of Lansdown fundraising.
