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 signing our guest book in the entryway or a Care Card in your pew and drop it in the offering basket.
  • If visiting, please don’t feel obligated to give an offering. St. Stephen’s members express thankfulness to God through their voluntary offerings which then support the congregation’s work.
  • Introduce yourself to a Pastor, and worship with us again!

Holy Communion will be offered today in all services. You may register by card at any time. We ask all guests to please speak with a pastor before communing.

Gift We acknowledge with thanks, a gift of $100 for the restoration fund, given by Jeffrey & Sheila Schlegel, in observance of their
30th wedding anniversary.

Vacationing this Summer?  Don’t take a vacation from worship!

When on vacation, try worshiping with one our sister WELS congregations where you are.  Before you leave town, stop in at the church office to check out the WELS Directory to find churches and worship times.  Or, use the “church locator” at www.wels.net.
If you are vacationing nowhere near civilization, and no sister churches are near, a hymnal and Bible or devotion book are all you need to have family worship wherever you are (and not just on Sunday!).
