Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost – October 1, 2025
We gather on the 17th Sunday after Pentecost
Blessing of the Animals
October 5 – 10am worship
“Increase our faith!” Luke 17:5
A little faith goes a long way is Jesus’ point in the gospel. A mustard seed’s worth of faith has miraculous potential. The patience, tenacity, and endurance required for the life of faith are the blessing received in holy baptism holy communion, and the word read and proclaimed in this assembly. Anticipate them. Receive them with thanksgiving.
You can also participate in worship through the livestream and recording at www.ststephenslutheran.org.
There is usually a Children’s Church / Sunday School program planned during worship. Please contact Leslie Lapp 476-4700 for more info.
