We’ve planted a new church into being, so what comes next?
We are called this year to CULTIVATE this church. To tend for it. To care for it. To grow it. To live into being this new church: new expressions, new ministries, new members, while honoring our traditions and celebrating what makes St. Stephen’s such a special place in our community.
We have made a concerted effort this year to prepare the place of St. Stephen’s for this next phase of its life, and in the upcoming year we will continue to make this same investment in our wider community
Join us for our Lenten Observances this year.
