On Sunday, October 4, at 10:00 am we will celebrate St. Francis’ Day with a special Worship Service and Pet Blessing!
Weather permitting, we will have an informal service outside in the parking lot closest to the Office Door, as we did last year. If it is raining, we will worship in the sanctuary.
All pets are welcome, as long as they are on leashes or otherwise secured.

Intergenerational worship is something we already do at St. Stephen’s because it means worshiping praising God together across generations. The question is, how can we do it more intentionally, so that people of all ages can experience the deep and abiding love of God? We learned on Saturday that the 5 Hallmarks of Intergenerational Worship are Intentionality, Relationality, Dignified Reciprocity, Flexibility and Empowerment.

We gather at a moment of deep transition in the life of the Church. The world around us is shifting rapidly, and with it the assumptions that once shaped our leadership, our structures, and our sense of institutional security. In such a time, the invitation before us is not to recover a lost dominance or to refine strategies of preservation, but to rediscover Gospel-shaped imagination that has always been at the heart of Christian leadership.

What has happened in the past week is what I can only describe as a Loaves and Fishes Experience. Last Sunday, August 2, the reading of the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 14:13-21) recalls Jesus telling the disciples to feed a huge crowd that has gathered to hear him in a deserted place. They are skeptical, especially as they can only find 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. Jesus takes the 5 loaves and 2 fish, blesses them, breaks them and somehow the disciples are able to feed well over 5000 people.
