💚 This Sunday, we’re going green and we’d love for you to join us.

Pastor Minoo is preaching on faith and creation care, and after the service we’re hosting a special outdoor event in our urban forest, complete with a kids’ activity, sustainability resources, and even a chance to drop off old electronics and worn-out clothing for recycling.

It’s the kind of Sunday that reminds us that loving our neighbors means caring for the world we all share. 🌍

In the weeks ahead, we’ve got fresh produce giveaways, a spring concert, an artist luncheon, and a community-wide effort to pack hygiene kits for families recovering from natural disasters.

There’s a place for everyone here – whether you’re looking to serve, connect, create, or simply show up.

Curious what else is happening at St. Stephen’s? Read the full newsletter and find your next step.
