Pentecost

We gather on Sunday at 10am.

Widows are visible everywhere in today’s readings.  Jesus denounces those scribes who pray impressive prayers but devour widows’ houses.  He commends the poor widow who in his view gave far more than the major donors.  Jesus doesn’t see her simply as an object of compassion or charity.  She, like the widow of Zarephath who shares her last bit of food with Elijah, does something of great importance.

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!
