Adult Forum
This Sunday we continue our
study of the inspiring book, People
of the Way: Renewing Episcopal
Identity. If you are keeping up,
you will have read pages 59 – 86
for this week. That section addresses two more topics, reconciliation and hospitality. We are discussing what these topics mean to
St. Stephen’s. Come Sunday and

"The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God

captured their hearts…and
changed the world forever. Father Kallio will share what the
aftermath of Jesus' command,
"Follow Me" means for our lives
and faith.

you the exciting news.
Enews
It is amazing the numbers of people
who after two weeks or more running
articles in the E-News will say, “I didn’t know we were doing that. Why
doesn’t someone tell us?” If you are
one of the, evidently, few who do read
the E-News, please send an email to Fr.
Lovett so we will see how many we are
reaching.
