Dear Friends in Christ,
Autumn has certainly snuck up on us with this cooler weather. I hope everyone is staying warm and cuddling up with some soup and a blanket.
Our Church programming is in full swing. There are so many folks in Sunday School and we blessed the donated school supplies. Once again, you have been very generous and I thank you.
The Blessing of the Pets was on October 4th. We had around 18 dogs and 1 kitty!
Planning for the Kids Carnival and Bake Sale on November 7th is underway. We will be setting up for the event beginning November 1st. If you are free to help during that time, please contact Roopali. We also need bakers, please contact Susan about joining that crew.
The Pledge and Stewardship Drive is coming soon. I hope you will prayerfully consider committing to St. Stephen’s financially and through good works. There are so many ways to help serve God and the community through St. Stephen’s. Please pray through the Collect for the Stewardship of Creation as you ponder your gifts to God:
O merciful Creator, your hand is open wide to satisfy the
needs of every living creature: Make us always thankful for
your loving providence; and grant that we, remembering the
account that we must one day give, may be faithful stewards
of your good gifts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with
you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever
and ever. Amen.
Yours in Christ,
Mo. Lauren
The Rev. Lauren T. McLeavey
Rector
