We gather on the 12th Sunday after Pentecost
August 31 –  10am worship

“Those who humble themselves will be exalted”  Luke 14:11

Invited and inviting – that is the nature of the church.  By God’s grace in holy baptism we have a place at Christ’s banquet table.  When, by the power of that same Spirit, humility and mutual love continue among us, the church can be more inviting still.

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. The Family Room is always available adjacent to the sanctuary for little one’s activities if you need it. We love having children in church and all that brings as part of worship!

We gather on the 10th Sunday after Pentecost   
August 17 –  10am worship

“Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth?”  Luke 12:51

Jesus delivers harsh words about the purifying and potentially divisive effects of obedience to God’s call. The way of the cross often leads followers to encounter hostility and rejection, even from those they love.

We gather on the 9th Sunday after Pentecost
August 10 –  10am worship
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also”  Luke 12:34

Pastor Greg Ronning Presiding

Jesus says, “It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”  It is God’s promise from the beginning – to Abraham, to the early church, and to the “little flock” of which we are a part in today’s assembly.  Faith, God’s baptismal gift, trusts the promises of God.  Have no fear.
