Anonymous A.A. groups meet at the Church during the week.
Book Club
Meets the 4th Tuesday of every month and a current book is reviewed by one of
the members. The program begins at 10 am and concludes by noon. Everyone is
welcome and it is not necessary to have read the book being reviewed. Bridge Club
The Bridge Club has three sections; one for ladies that meets during the day,
and two for couples (twosomes) that meet in the evening. Everyone is welcome to
join and will be accommodated. In may of each year, there is an annual social
gathering for each section which is an especially good time for interested
people to meet others involved in the club. Cursillo The goals of the
the Cursillo program are to help Christians measure the depths of their faith to
find its reality and richness; inspire Christians to get on with their mission
in the world by hearing and heeding God's call; connect Christians in networks
that will enable them to carry out their mission; hold up examples of everyday
Christians who are acting as apostles in their ordinary life settings. Food Addicts
in Recovery F.A. groups meet at the Church during the week.
Garden Club The many beautiful garden areas throughout the church grounds are planned, installed, and lovingly maintained by members of the St. Stephen's Garden Club, with generous support from memorial gifts and donations. Members meet monthly, on the second Tuesday, to work in the gardens and plan future projects and events. Some prefer to work at their own convenience in their special area. All are welcome, help is always needed, and no experience is required. Please join us! Contact: Kathy Seabury 254-5753 Lunch Bunch The "Lunch Bunch" is a fellowship group of men and women who like to enjoy a day out, a good meal, and an interesting program. We meet each month, except during the summer, from 12 noon - 1:45 pm. RSVP is required. Contact: Church Office 254-3770 Parish
Weekend Each May, the parish gathers at the
Bishop's Ranch in Healdsburg for a weekend of
spiritual rejuvenation and community fellowship in the magnificent surroundings
of the Ranch. Activities are planned to allow for education, reflection,
exercise, wining, dining and just plain fun with out St. Stephen's community.
Families, couples, and singles of all ages consider this weekend a vital part of
their spiritual fulfillment. Join us and experience this wonderful Parish Weekend.
Contact: Church Office 254-3770 Though easily accessible from the Bay Area, entering this peaceful place is like returning to a simpler, gentler time. Perched amidst redwood, fir, and madrone trees on a hillside overlooking a valley, it is close to both the Russian River and the Pacific Ocean, in Sonoma County. The quaint old town of Occidental, with its shops, restaurants, and historic buildings, is just a mile or so away. Visit www.stdorothysrest.org for pictures of St. Dorothy's facilities and details.
Sharing
Wisdom All women of St. Stephen's are invited to join this casually
structured group which discussed anything and everything that comes to mind. It
is a fun time, a serious time, a sentimental time, a time to share what is on
your mind, knowing that what is said doesn't leave the room. Sunday mornings at
9:00 (between Sunday services) grab a cup of coffee and head for the Library.
Stephen
Ministers Using Jesus as our model, Stephen Ministers learn the skill of
active listening, which involves commitment, patience, and attention to body
language. Stephen Ministers learn to listen for more than just words. They seek
true understanding and empathy.
