Interim Rector Kristi Philip served us from October 23, 2009 til March 2011.
Rev. Kristi Philip served as our Interim Rector in the year following the death of Rev. John Shephard, as we discerned our needs and conducted a search for a permanent rector. Kristi divided her time equally between her responsibilities at the Diocesan level and at St. Stephen’s. Thank you, Kristi, for our time together. We’ll always consider you a member of the St. Stephen’s family!
Fall 2010 – Every Member Canvas
It’s autumn, which means the St. Stephen’s Every Member Canvas is in full swing. The pledges will be used to determine the budget for 2010. 200 letters went out to members on October 1, and the October 25-26 services include an opportunity for our members to bring their pledge cards to the altar as a dedication to God and St. Stephen’s.
After the Sunday 10:15 service, we have a Harvest Celebration in the parish hall. The main dish, ham, will be supplied by the church and members are asked to bring potluck items. Further information is available in the service bulletin or by calling 448-2255.
