Prayers for the repose of the soul of Marcia Hertsgaard
I ask the prayers of the St. Stephens family for the repose of the soul of Marcia Hertsgaard, a former member of St. Stephen’s, who died on Weds. March 16, 2011 in Denver, Colorado at age 79. Please also keep her family in your prayers as well.
I talked this evening with her daughter, Linda, who said her mother went very quickly of a heart attack. She said, “Please let everyone at St. Stephen’s know that she went with all her marbles. She definitely went very much in her own way.”
A graveside service will be held Thursday, March 24 in Denver.
Rest eternal grant to her, O Lord; and let light perpetual shine upon her.
- peace,
Fr. Jamie+

Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep.
Let them say, "Spare your people, O LORD, and do not make your heritage a mockery,
a byword among the nations.

Why should it be said among the peoples,

"Burying" the Alleluia this Sunday, March 6
Join us this Sunday as we bid farewell to that joyful word “Alleluia.”
Because this is the last Sunday before Lent starts (Ash Wednesday is next Wednesday, March 9), we will retire the word for Lent, as we always do, and refrain from saying “Alleluia” during the season of Lent, before bringing it back in a very glorious way on Easter morning.
This Sunday, at the end of our Eucharist and as we sing a final hymn full of Alleluias, the children of the congregation will come forward and as Fr. Jamie takes down the Alleluia banner from the altar and places it in a box, they will take the alleluia banner out and “bury” it somewhere in the church until Easter Sunday.
So, join us this Sunday as we bid a temporary farewell to Alleluia and celebrate our last Sunday before Lent begins.
We will also be dedicating our beautiful new altar rail during the service.
And don’t forget to join us for our Ash Wednesday service on at 7:00 pm Wednesday, March 9 at St. Stephen's.

Dedication of new altar rail this Sunday, March 6
Please join us on Sun. March 6 at our 11:00 am celebration of the Holy Eucharist for the dedication of St. Stephen’s new altar rail. The rail, given by Fr. Jamie Parsley and his mother, Joyce Parsley, in memory of Albert Parsley (+September 14, 2010), will replace the L-shaped sectional rail that divided the altar from the congregation. The new altar rail will have an opening in front of the altar which will allow freer access of the people to the altar, as well as on the ends. It will be more secured throughout.
Along with the new altar rail, other changes in the church may be noticed. Our processional cross will now be located on the opposite wall (away from the organ and the cantor’s chair), and the pulpit has been raised.
So, join us on Sunday March 6 as we dedicate our new altar rail.
We will also bid Farewell to the Alleluia at the conclusion of our service as we "bury" this joyous word for the Lenten season.
