Lots of exciting things are happening here, especially when it comes to worship, thanks to the energetic leadership of our choir and our Organist and Director of Music Ministries, Mitchell Crawford. Here are some updates:
November 6, All Saints Sunday: This moving service of Remembrance of the Faithful Departed celebrates our unity with the Christians who have preceded us into the Church Triumphant. This Sunday’s music will be especially moving: The choir and organist will perform Faure’s Requiem throughout the service, performed in a “chamber” version for organ, harp, violin, and cello. We will celebrate The Lord’s Supper, and read the list of The Faithful Departed of the past year.
November 8, Election Day Prayer of Healing and Hope for Our Nation: St. Stephen invites you to join us after the polls close at 7 pm, November 8, for a thirty minute service of meditation, prayers and music in our main sanctuary. We will thank God for the gift of citizenship and express our confidence that our nation’s future is in God’s hands; and we will pray for reconciliation and the welfare of this nation we cherish. We hope that you will join us.
Youth Sunday November 13:St. Stephen’s Youth, 6-12th Grade, leads this service, in which we also dedicate our acolytes.
Christmas on the Hill, Sunday, November 27th, 4:00-7:30 pm: This annual community celebration is open to friends, neighbors, and future friends of all ages, with outdoor games, food, indoor crafts, stories, and music. Volunteers needed! Contact DeBe Wilson, chair, at [email protected]
