Seventh Sunday After Pentecost – July 19

Dear St. Stephen’s Family,

It is so hard to not be together in person, but we are doing Christ’s work of caring for each other – especially the most vulnerable among us – by not gathering in person.

So, let’s continue to join our spirits in worship at www.ststephenslutheran.org anytime on Sunday. It is so important to offer ourselves to God in this way these days. I know you will find it a comfort and blessing.  Previous weeks are recorded as well.  Please find attached, the bulletin cover artwork, scripture readings & prayers in the Celebrate.
