Upcoming Events at St. Stephen's
Easter Prayer Stations - All Sundays in May
During the Easter Season we are focusing on the practice of prayer. As part of the practice we will be offering a time of prayer following Eucharist. Members of the Daughters of the King, a woman's group of the Episcopal Church, will be available in the chapel for prayer. You can also light a candle in the chapel, walk the labyrinth in the library, or enjoy the music and silence. Consider trying a new prayer practice this Easter Season.
Sunday, May 8th - Mother's Day and A Celebration of New Members
If you would like to have a Remembrance or a Memorial printed for a mother you know, there is a sign up sheet under the bulletin board in the kitchen area. We are asking for a donation of your choice for every name you wish to include. Donations may be placed in the Offertory Plate with a note "For Mother's Day".
Join us as we welcome new people to our church! We will celebrate with those who were confirmed on May 7th at regional confirmation and welcome those who have transferred their membership to St. Stephen's in the past year.
