In recent years, the congregation of St. Stephen Lympne have been raising funds for a major refurbishment of the church. This is progressing in a number of phases. Underfloor geothermal heating has been completed and operational for some time, as have the installation of kitchen and toilet facilities. We are about to commence the redecoration. After the 16th October 2011 until 11th December (inclusive) the church building will be closed and worship will be held at Lympne CE Primary School, Octavian Drive, Lympne, CT21 4JG. As usual, you will be assured of a warm welcome and we hope to see you there. After 11th December, we will be worshipping back in St. Stephen’s Church.
