These sessions on gifts will give those new to the church a variety of ways to serve and may help refocus some who have been at the church many years. The church is continuing to spread the word of our need for an Assistant for children, youth, and families. One candidate will be interviewed next week. We expect to look at others as well. The Assistant will participate in worship, be staff support for our church school program, and work directly with our young people.
Job descriptions are available in the church office.
Dogs, cats, hens, and iguanas line up to be blessed On St. Francis' Day, Sunday, October 4 at our 10 a.m. worship there will be a blessing of animals. It celebrates all creation held in the Creator's care. Parishioners are invited to bring pets to church that morning, properly restrained by leash or carrier, to receive a blessing following the Service of the Word. Velveteen rabbits and other stuffed animals are also welcome. During the summer, the diocese sends out a list of everyone in their records connected with Saint Stephen's who receives the Episcopal Times .
