Christmas

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

Within the gospel reading’s profound words lies the simple message that God is revealed in a human person.  Though we may try to understand how the Word existed with God from the beginning of time, the wonder we celebrate at Christmas is that the Word continues to dwell among us.  Christ comes among us in the gathered assembly, the scriptures, the waters of new birth, and the bread and the wine.  Through these ordinary gifts we receive the fullness of God’s grace and truth.

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!

We gather on the First Sunday of Christmas at 10am for worship

On the first Sunday of Christmas we find the boy Samuel; and the boy Jesus, both in the temple, both growing in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and humankind.  We too have returned to the house of God “to sing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs to God,” who has gifted us with a savior.  As the festival continues, “let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.”  It is Christmas, still.
