Dear Beloved Community of St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church,

This Sunday’s bulletin cover reads: “May they be one, as we are one.”  This is a fitting theme for our times, as even something as commonly devastating as this pandemic has not alleviated many of the deep divisions about the direction of our country and how to respond to this unseen threat.

Dear Beloved Community of St. Stephen’s Lutheran Church,

We hope you are doing well as we all adjust to new ways of being the church for each other and our community!  You are loved and prayed for often. We sure do miss seeing your faces and worshiping together in person.

As we continue to care for our neighbors, especially the most vulnerable, by sheltering-in-place, we are learning new ways of being God’s Church – the Body of Christ in our world today. As always, please do not hesitate to contact us for any prayer requests or other ways your church can help you through this time. You are loved and prayed for.
