Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost – September 7, 2025
We gather on the 13th Sunday after Pentecost
September 7 – 10am worship
“Carry the cross and follow me” Luke 14:27
Called to contemplate the cost of discipleship, we might be helped by translating Paul’s request to Philemon into our prayer of the day: Refresh my heart in Christ. Strengthened by the company and forgiveness of Christ in holy communion and recalling God’s grace in rememberance of baptism, we can be strengthened in this hour to “choose life” – to choose life in God as our own.
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!
Coffee Fellowship: Please contact our Church Administrator Leslie if you are willing to host. We need you!
