St. Stephen's Episcopal Church
Thursday, February 23, 2012
20's and 30'sSt. Stephen’s is a church for every age, and our young adult members--20s and 30s--bring both insight and energy to our life together. Young adulthood is a time of deepening faith, new growth, and many decisions, and our church is an ideal place for the new beginnings and strong roots many twenty and thirty somethings are seeking.
For more information, please contact Matt Johnson.
We invite you to attend worship at St. Stephen's. Every Sunday during the academic year, there are five different services of worship, each with its own character. You might enjoy experimenting, in order to find the service that is most helpful to you.
Services take place at 8 a.m., 9 a.m., 11:15 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. At 9:00, two services happen simultaneously – one in the large, Gothic church, and the other in the smaller brick chapel known as "Palmer Hall." The service in Palmer Hall involves conversational instruction about the worship experience in a more intimate space. The service in the large church is intended to be equally welcoming, without conversational instruction, and the setting feels to some more transcendent. Both of these services have important roles for children, and people of all ages are most welcome at any of our five services.
The 5:30 p.m. Celtic service is the liturgy that attracts visitors most regularly. It is more contemplative and less traditional than our morning services. It begins with a service of Evening Prayer, followed by Communion. The music reflects Celtic and Taize influences, and on various Sundays can include instruments such as harp, violin, cello, flute, classical guitar, dulcimer or piano.
The Compline service is held every Sunday night at 8:00 p.m. This stunningly beautiful candlelit service features a newly formed group of singers, "Sanctuary," offering Gregorian chant and Renaissance polyphony.
St. Stephen's offers a number of different small groups, classes, and workshops designed to help enrich your spiritual life. Learn more here.
The clergy offer the Inquirers class during the fall, winter and spring covenant periods, as well as a weekly Bible study to which you can subscribe.
One of the best ways to meet other young adults and people of other ages in this large parish is to serve.
