Treasures of Darkness: Finding God When Hope is Hidden
Thursdays, 9:30 - 11 a.m., Rm 112, through April 1
People generally consider dark times in life as those that are filled with pain, fear, anxiety, depression, loss, or sadness. However, darkness can also be embraced as an opportunity to experience the treasure of God's love, presence, and power. This study also explores biblical stories in which darkness plays a major role. Facilitated by Rev. Betty Dunlop.

St.Stephen's will stage "The Living Last Supper" on Maundy Thursday, April 1, 2010 at 7:30PM. One of Christianity's most significant events was brilliantly portrayed by Leonardo Da Vinci centuries ago: The Last Supper. This Renaissance masterpiece is brought to life by the choirs, orchestra, and actors of St. Stephen’s UMC in Ruth Elaine Schram's remarkable work, "The Living Last Supper."

The music deftly and passionately captures the pathos of the event while, one by one, the disciples speak, expressing their innermost thoughts with brief but poignant monologues that also portray their incredible astonishment at Jesus' assertion that one of them would betray Him that fateful night.

All are welcome to celebrate a communion service to be served by "Jesus" and the assembled twelve for a truly unique and meaningful celebration of the Lord's Supper. Interested in volunteering? Make-up, costumes, lights, props….if you would like to be part of the Living Last Supper crew, please contact Ryan at 703/978-8724x107 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
