Prayers for the repose of the soul of Frank Wilking


The prayers of St. Stephen’s are requested for the repose of the soul of Frank Wilking, brother of Leo Wilking, who died recently.

Prayers also for Leo and Martha and their family at this time.

A memorial service and interment of ashes will be held in New York City at a later date.

Rest eternal grant to him, O Lord;
And let Light perpetual shine upon him.
May his soul and the souls of the departed
through the mercy of God rest in peace and rise in glory.

Prayers for Pr. Mark, Vanessa & Max Strobel on the eve of the Bishop's election


The prayers of St. Stephen’s are requested for Pr. Mark Strobel, St. Stephen’s own Vanessa Strobel and their son, Max, as the Eastern Synod of the ELCA meets on Saturday in Grand Forks to elect a new Bishop of the Eastern Synod. Pr. Mark is a nominee for Bishop.  

O God of unchangeable power and eternal light: Look favorably on your whole Church, that wonderful and sacred mystery; by the effectual working of your providence, carry  out in tranquillity the plan of salvation; let the whole world see and know that things which were cast down are being raised up, and things which had grown old are being made new, and that all things are being brought to their perfection  by him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Undercroft bathroom refurbishing...Before and After

The St. Stephen's Undercoft Bathroom has been refurbished. Gone are the 1950s-era appliances and the formica walling. New fixtures, new dry walling, new flooring and a new coat of paint  have made a major difference. Thank you to Sandy Kenz for spearheading the refurbishing, and to her son, Jake, for doing all the hard work.
 
Here's Before....
 




 
And after....(the mirror, some final sanding and finishing touches, and other decorations had not been put up when these photos were taken):
