Bishop Thom visitation on June 22

 

We will welcome Bishop Brian Thom at St. Stephen’s as he makes his annual visit to St. Stephen’s on Sunday, June 22.

 

An Episcopal Visitation is an opportunity for us to connect with the whole of the Church in the person of our Bishop. It is a chance for us to show our Bishop the vitality of our congregation and share with her news of our common life. An Episcopal Visitation is also an occasion for people to be Confirmed and Received into the Episcopal Church.

 

Confirmation

In Confirmation, we publicly reaffirm, in the presence of our local community and the Bishop (whose presence represents that of the whole Church), the promises we made—or which our parents made on our behalf—at baptism.

 

Reception

Those who have been previously Confirmed by the laying on of hands of a bishop in another communion of the Church, may be Received into the Episcopal Church.

 

Reaffirmation

An opportunity to reaffirm your commitment to the church and your baptismal vows.

 

We will also be welcoming any new members who would like to be recognized during the service that morning.

 

If anyone is interested in being Confirmed or officially Received into the Episcopal Church or simply recognized as a new member, please send an email to Fr. Jamie so you can fill out a Confirmation/Reception form.

Words of Wisdom:

Memorial Day: We can use Memorial Day as an invitation to pray for those who serve in the military. Here are some simple ways to pray: Pray for their health and safety, as they willingly put their lives on the line.

 

Pray for their families, who often bear the weight of long deployments, distance and the overall challenges of military service.

 

Pray for those who have lost loved ones in their service to our country.
