encouraging you to attend the services of Holy Week, especially the Great Three
Days (Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil), it’s not just because
they like to see more people in the pews, or it’s good for their egos, or they
want parishioners to see how much effort goes into these liturgies. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="color: #050505; font-family: "Garamond",serif; font-size: 18pt; mso-bidi-font-family: "Segoe UI Historic"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 0pt; mso-ligatures: none;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>

and resurrection of Jesus Christ and the transforming power of the Christian
faith. It’s because they love you and want nothing more than for you to have
such a moving encounter with our Lord, that it will change your life. It’s an
invitation rooted in profound love, and a recognition that there is literally
nothing more important in the entire world than to participate fully as we

Lenten Study will focus on the “complaint” or “lament” Psalms that speak to our
spirits in troubled times. This study (with discussion) will take place from
12:30-1:30pm after the service on Sunday, March 10 and will be led by Dan Rice.
If you are interested in the study, please sign up on the sheet on a table in
the undercroft and include your email address where I will send the optional
resources for the session. Or contact me at my email at danielroyrice@gmail.com

the 40-day season of fasting and prayer leading to Easter. Traditionally, we
give something up during Lent in order to create new space for God in our
lives. The St. Stephen’s Green Team asks St. Stephen’s congregants and friends to
consider engaging in a Carbon Fast for Lent – reducing the amount of carbon
dioxide we put into the atmosphere – as a way of continuing to develop our
abilities to be good stewards of God’s Creation. To sign up for a weekly email
giving you ideas for reducing your carbon footprint, please go to this

Jamie<p> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">My
Friends at St. Stephen’s,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">As we near the joyous celebration of the
birth of Jesus and prepare to celebrate all that that birth means to us,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>we also find ourselves looking forward to the
new year of 2024.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">It has been an exciting year at St.
Stephen’s. We began (and just recently, with great joy finished) our sacristy
renovation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As with any building
project, there were frustrations, delays and a battle with impatience. But,
here we are! And the church building has never looked more beautiful! St.
Stephen’s is truly a place which reflects the fact that all we do begins from
the center point of our parish—our altar. We also made a major commitment to
Creation Care and Eco Justice this year with the establishment of the “Green
Team,” a committee dedicated to helping St. Stephen’s become an ecologically
sound place, and a witness to the larger community of the we all should be
striving to do. Also, almost every Sunday we have visitors and potential new
members in our pews. Our church continues to be a holy and welcoming place to
people who need a place wherein they feel welcomed and accepted. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">As we look forward to 2024, we do so
anticipating a personal dream I have hoped for St. Stephen’s since I became
priest here: the establishment of an Endowment Fund! This Fund will help us to
continue to be the place we are for future generations. More information on
this will be forthcoming in 2024.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s
face it: the dust never settles at St. Stephen’s! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">Serving as St. Stephen’s continues to
be truly one of the most fulfilling experiences of my priestly life. Our life
together of ministry, worship, music and outreach has been a source of great
personal joy for me and has helped me to see how gracious God is in showering
blessings upon faithful, committed people who truly do seek after God. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">As we move forward together into this
future full of hope and potential growth, I ask for your continued prayers for
St. Stephen’s and your continued presence on Sunday mornings, Wednesday nights
and whenever else we gather together to worship and to do ministry. Please know
that I pray, as always, for each of you individually by name over the course of
each week in my daily observance of the Daily Office (Morning and Evening celebration
of the Mass. Above all, know that I give God thanks every day for the opportunity
to serve such a wonderful, caring and loving congregation of people who are
committed to growth and radical hospitality.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Georgia",serif; font-size: 14.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;">My sincerest blessings to you and to
all those you love during this season of joy, hope and love.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
