advent pageant

We gather on the Second Sunday of Advent at 10am for worship

& our Annual Christmas Pageant

Forerunners and messengers advance the advent of our God.  While John the baptizer’s voice in the wilderness may be the principal focus of the day, Malachi’s prophecy could as easily herald the coming Christ as forerunner of the Lord of hosts.  Finally all the baptized are called to participate in the sharing of the gospel.  In so doing we prepare the way for the coming of Jesus and assist all people in capturing a vision of the “salvation of God.”

You can also participate in worship through the livestream and recording at www.ststephenslutheran.org.

There is usually a Children’s Church / Sunday School program planned during worship. Please contact Leslie Lapp 476-4700 for more info. The Family Room is always available adjacent to the sanctuary for little one’s activities if you need it. We love having children in church and all that brings as part of worship!

Coffee Fellowship:  Please contact our Church Administrator Leslie if you are willing to host. We need you!
