I have decided beginning this fall to read the Bible from cover to cover. Although I have read nearly all of the Bible a few times, I have never read it cover to cover. I would like to invite you to accept the challenge and to join me in reading the entire Bible this year. If you do not have a Bible and would like to accept this challenge, I will gladly provide you with a copy at no cost to you – just let me know if you need one. I believe that taking time to read the Bible for 15 or 30 minutes each day will transform our lives, our families, and our community. It will help us to be better parents, spouses, neighbors, and citizens. I hope that you will accept the Bible Challenge as together we seek God’s will for our lives and for our community. Please let me know if you will join me in the Bible Challenge this year.  

God’s blessing and peace,

Bill Osborne+

WELCOME TO ST. STEPHEN’S

St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church proclaims in its Mission Statement: “ In response to God’s love, we invite and welcome all to gather in worship, grow in faith, and serve as stewards of God’s creation.”  So what does that really mean?   It means that we are a community eager to worship God through sacrament and liturgy, to deepen our faith, and to serve others in need.

Founded in 1957, our beautiful and beloved church was built and created to provide people the opportunity to come together in many ways.  In addition to Saturday and Sunday services, our church family gathers for fellowship and for outreach.  From the summer Basketball Camp to our annual Wine Tasting and Auction, we invite community members to participate and to find what a friendly, active, warm group we are.  Our members serve food at Crosswalk and at the Holy Trinity Dinner Table, sew quilts for needy and recuperating children, donate toiletry items to women in shelters, maintain a recycling program . . . and much, much more.

As you explore St. Stephen’s through our website, perhaps you will find ways you would like to connect with God and with others. Most of all, we welcome you to join us in worship and in fellowship.
