Oktoberfest – Santa Cruz Style!

Beer • Wine • Food • Music • Fun

St. Stephen’s is throwing a party for our community, Live Oak, Santa Cruz and beyond.  It’s based on the traditional Oktoberfest started by Ludvig I of Bavaria in 1810 on the occasion of his wedding to Therese of Saxe-Hildburghausen.  However, the Oktoberfest Team has added a few 21st century and Santa Cruz touches to make this more than the continuation of a tradition.  Come and see!

Women’s retreat: 9/30 to 10/2

To ALL Women (men please pass on info):  The Fall Women’s Retreat is a long standing tradition that offers women of all ages a chance to experience spiritual renewal and fellowship in the beauty of God’s creation. This year we will take a deeper look at the life and ministry of Mary, the Mother of Jesus. This weekend event will also include morning and evening worship, campfires and devotions, a variety of recreational activities, a special fall menu, and plenty of time for fellowship.

Speaker: Pastor Sarah Sumner ­Eisenbraun serves as associate and campus pastor at Salem Lutheran Church and School in Glendale CA. Originally from South Dakota, Sarah attended St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN and then both Luther Seminary in St. Paul and Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary in Berkeley. After being ordained in 2007, Sarah has specialized in ministry with children, youth, and families.
