Upcoming Events:
June 22nd Bishop Brian Thom's
visit
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
Those
who have been confirmed in the Episcopal Church or been officially received who
would like to make a public reaffirmation of and renew their baptismal faith.
New
Member Sunday
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.
