  • Winter/Spring Bible Study “The Book of Joshua”
    Our Monday/Wednesday Bible Class has resumed. We are going through the book of Joshua. The people of Israel were starting to enter the Promised Land. God promised to go with them, and he defeated their enemies. This book reminds us of how God is with us to help us overcome our enemies. Join us on Mondays at 7:00 PM or Wednesdays at 11:00 AM. 

Lenten Worship Our midweek Lenten services are Wednesdays at 3:30 and 6:30 p.m. Dinner will be served at 4:45 p.m.
Our series for midweek Lenten services this year is “The Crucial Hours,” reflecting on pivotal moments and events in Jesus’ Passion.
This week, Pastor Schupmann’s sermon will be “I Will Keep the Passover.”

A PARKING NOTE – No parking for the 3:30 service on West Street in front of Wilson School and St. Stephen’s parking lots.  This is the after school bus pick-up lane.

Lenten Suppers!  This year there will be a light supper in our church basement from 4:45-6:15pm provided by some of our church organizations.  This week our Elders will be hosting a beef stew meal.
