ST. STEPHEN'S WELCOMES PEOPLE FROM ALL
WALKS OF LIFE
People with varied interests and backgrounds can all find a connection here,
whether through our Children's, Music, Outreach, Pastoral Care, Creation Care,
or Faith Formation programs, to name a few.
We hope our website answers your
questions about how we grow our faith, how we worship, and how we live out God's
calling, but the best way to explore our faith community is to visit a worship
service. Please see Worship Services Schedule to the right to find a time
that works for you.
For more
information, please contact the our Parish Administrator, Brenda Free, or Fr.
Larry, Rev. Mary, Mo. Jan or Fr. Tom in the Church Office at (925) 254-3770. We
look forward to welcoming you to the St. Stephen's community.
For those times when events prevent attendance
at Sunday services at St. Stephen's, we are providing a short
family-friendly worship service. When you or you family
participates in our worship in this way, it extends the St.
Stephen's worshipping community into the world
Please e-mail
office@ststephensorinda.org to let us know
how many in your family have participated in the extended worship
experience each Sunday.

DO
YOU HAVE EYE GLASSES SITTING AROUND?
Good news, Jack Brovelli is collecting old glasses (adult
and children...any kind!) to send to Honduras through the
organization “Mending Kids Internationally”. Please bring
your glasses to the Narthex this Sunday and put them in the
box.
ST.
STEPHEN’S OUTREACH ~ Helping kids
We are collecting backpacks and supplies to give to the kids
at St. Cornelius School in Richmond. Please check it out in
the Narthex and drop your items off in the next couple
weeks.
BOUNCE HOUSE SUNDAYS THIS SUMMER
The first Sunday of the month we will have a bounce house
for the kids. The next Bounce House Sunday is July 5th…see
you in church.
IT'S
SUMMER ~ Time to try St. Stephen’s choir!
The Choir is off “duty” until August 30, but the music
continues! Many of the choir members continue all
summer and for this we thank you. If you enjoy singing,
but can’t make weekly rehearsals during the year, summer
is a great time to try choir. Come any Sunday at 9:00
a.m. to rehearse and sing at the 10:00 a.m. service.
The choir is casual for the summer so they do not wear
robes. We love visiting singers, and we want to make
this a fun experience for you.
ACOLYTES!
July 12th is Acolyte training in use of the
thurible (the person who holds the incense on special
occasions) for those acolytes interested in becoming
thurifers with Fr. Larry and Jan Spieth. If you are
interested, “Smoke Day Training” is at 9:00a.m.
MARK
YOUR CALENDAR FOR THE FALL
St. Stephen’s Day ~ September 20th
OKTOBERFEST ~ October 9th
An absolute must!! Put it on your calendar right now. This
wonderful event is one of the great fun times of St.
Stephen’s and it will be even more enjoyable if you are
there! Not only is it an evening of great frivolity and
scrumptious food, but it is a time when the generosity of
the St. Stephen’s folk is abundantly evident. Over the last
few Oktoberfests, thousands of dollars have been raised
through the auction for worthy causes in our community. So,
we invite you to be with us that night and if you would like
to help that evening or in the planning, we offer you many
opportunities. Watch for sign up posters in the Parish Hall,
notices in the Sunday Paper and the Banner, and
announcements at church.
BAPTISMS
The next Baptism is scheduled for July 26th during the 10:00a.m.
Sunday service.
