Welcome Visitors If you are visiting today, we welcome you in our Risen and Living Savior, Jesus!
- Please let us know you worshiped with us by introducing yourself to a Pastor and filling out a Connect Card and hand it to an usher, pastor, or place in the offering box. Thank you!
- If visiting, please don’t feel obligated to give an offering.
Stephen’s members express thankfulness to God through their voluntary offerings which then support the congregation’s work.
Today we celebrate the Sacrament of the Altar in which we joyfully receive Christ’s body and blood, together with the bread and wine, for the forgiveness of our sins. As we celebrate the Sacrament we also give public confession to our unity in the Christian faith. We invite communicant members of this congregation to commune.
Guests wishing to receive the sacrament, please speak with one of our pastors.
