O God, creator of the world and sustainer of our lives. We thank
you for bringing together the members of the Diocese of North Dakota, a diverse
and faithful people. Help us to listen to your Spirit as we discern our choice
for a bishop that will live with us, work beside us, and know and understand us
as we grow together to serve your people. Amen.
A Citizen’s Guide
The curse has been fulfilled: We live in interesting times. Our

evolving political landscape in an adult education opportunity: “Policy,
Politics, and Party Identity: A Citizen’s Guide.” Sunday October 26 following Coffee
Hour. Open to all; we will gather following the liturgy, fortified with coffee
and snacks.
All Saints Octave
Once again this year at St. Stephen’s we will devote an entire week to
celebrate the saints in our lives. In preparation for the Feast of All Saints
(which is one of the most important feast days in our Church year), we will be
remembering all of the saints in our lives (those whom we have loved and who
have shown us something of who God is). We will be offering several
opportunities at St. Stephen’s to honor those who have passed on before us to
the larger Communion of Saints.
+ Beginning before the week of October 26th, a list will be placed in the
Narthex for you to write the names of your deceased loved ones so they may be
remembered at the special Requiem Mass we will celebrate on Wednesday November 5.
You can also send any names to Fr. Jamie at frjamieparsley@gmail.com and
he will make sure that their names placed on the altar on All Saints Sunday and
that they are remembered by name at the Requiem Eucharist.
+ Attend the Requiem Eucharist the All Saints Sunday Eucharist on November 2
and
at 6:00 pm Wednesday November 5.
Sunday, November 2- All Saints Sunday
11:00 am – Holy Eucharist
Wednesday,
November 5- 6:00 pm – Requiem Eucharist for all our
deceased loved ones
The names of all those buried from St.
Stephen’s throughout the years as well as those written on the list in the
Narthex will be read.

At the end of the service, we will process to the Memorial Garden for
the Blessing of graves.

Words of Wisdom:

possible.” ~Christopher Reeve
From the Green Team:
These takeout containers can't be
recycled
Polystyrene foam containers: These foam containers, often
referred to as "Styrofoam," are widely used for takeout and delivery,
so it's likely you've seen them. Unfortunately, they aren't recyclable and must
be thrown out.
Black plastic containers: These are another popular choice for
restaurants and while they are often made from recycled materials -- making
them at least somewhat eco-friendly -- they can't be recycled and must be
tossed. According to Walters, recycling plant sorting technology just hasn't
caught up to these materials yet.
Chinese containers and clamshells: This is another type of container
that in theory could be recycled, but because oil often seeps into the
cardboard, you're better off throwing them away. Also, many are coated with a
sealant that makes them leak-proof and difficult to recycle.
Oil-stained pizza boxes: In theory, corrugated cardboard can be
recycled but not when it's soaked in oil or caked with cheese. Happy medium:
Take the top portion of the box if it's free from oil and recycle that with
your cardboard. The bottom half will likely need to be trashed.
Plastic bags: Your food is often delivered in plastic bags, but
they aren't recyclable and can cause
serious harm to your local recycling
facilities. To dispose of plastic
bags, return them to the store where you got them or reuse them. Better yet,
don't use them at all and request a paper bag instead.
Plastic utensils: Not everything made from plastic is recyclable
and recycling plastic utensils is usually dependent on your local facility so
check with your service provider. Even better, when you place your order let
the restaurant know you don't need any plastic utensils.
Soiled paper plates and napkins: These are not recyclable when soiled with food and liquid, so
look for reusable, biodegradable or true disposable products instead. Source:
