Three Things You Need to Know!
There’s a lot happening at St. Stephen’s right now, and you won’t want to miss the full picture. Here’s a taste:
The church is at a crossroads — and every member’s voice matters. St. Stephen’s is in a year of discernment around a potentially transformative change to how the church is led. Community meetings are happening this Sunday at 10 am and 12 pm, and this is exactly the kind of conversation you’ll want to be part of before a decision is made.
Wednesday nights during Lent just got delicious. We’re talking a Baked Potato Bar, the legendary Church Lady Casserole, and a spread from the Bilingual Bible Study.
Music lovers, your calendar is about to fill up. A choral performance with a string quartet is coming this Sunday — and St. Stephen’s members get in for just $5. Easter musicians are being recruited now for a handful of rehearsals that could make the Resurrection celebration truly unforgettable. And on March 21, a coffeehouse concert raises money for a ministry serving adults with disabilities.
