Worship

We gather on All Saints Sunday 
November 2 –  10am worship

“Blessed are you who weep now” Luke 6:21

In holy baptism God makes saints out of sinners.  In holy communion God forgives the sins of all the saints.  In worship today we give thanks for all the saints “who from their labors rest.”  In the same breath we petition our God for the strength to hear and to heed the admonitions of Jesus in today’s gospel.  Sealed by the Spirit and sustained by the Savior’s body and blood, we live with joy as God gives us breath, to the praise of God’s glory.

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.

October 12 –  10am worship

“One of them turned back, praising God” Luke 17:15

It’s a miracle! Multiple miracles! The waters of holy baptism have healed us. The body and blood of Jesus in holy communion have made us clean. We have died with Christ and been raised with him. For all this we have returned to offer thanks. From this place we are sent on our way rejoicing to share the good news.
