Sixth Sunday of Easter – May 14, 2023

May 13, 2023 by admin

A special welcome and note to those of you who join worship through the livestream and recording!  Our Technology Minister, Kent Madsen, shared that there have been a few more of you out there recently, and I want to say how much that means to me and the congregation to know that you are there! God’s Spirit is felt and known through your participation and faithfulness. Keep up the good work of setting this time aside for your spirit.

“Almighty and ever-living God, You hold together all the things in heaven and on earth. In your great mercy receive the prayers of all you children, and give to all the world the Spirit of your truth and peace. Amen.”

We will gather for worship on the 5th Sunday of Easter, May 7th at 10:00 am.  You can also participate 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!

Fifth Sunday of Easter – May 7, 2023

May 6, 2023 by admin

We will gather and observe our namesake Saint Stephen Sunday – a heart-breaking, but powerfully moving witness as the first follower of Jesus to be killed because of his faith in God’s way.  Our stained glass window reminds us of who we were named after 70 years ago, when we see the 3 stones on top of the Bible below the ascending Jesus’ feet.

“Almighty God, your Son Jesus Christ offers the way, the truth, and the life.  Give us grace to love one another, to following the way of his commandments like Stephen, and to share his risen life with all the world. Amen.”

We will gather for worship on the 5th Sunday of Easter, May 7th at 10:00 am.  You can also participate 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.
