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! Parish

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.
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.
"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
generally meet the third Tuesday of each month, September through June from 12
noon - 1:45 pm. Wednesday Nights at Church Parishioners join for mid-week worship, fellowship, and spiritual enrichment. The program begins at 6:00 PM with Evening Prayer, followed by dinner in the parish hall. At 6:45 there are faith formation programs for adults, youth and children ending by 8:00 PM. |
