Worship

    The foundation of who we are

            and all we do as a Christian people

Sunday Mornings

The premier focus of our worship together as the Body of Christ is found in three services every Sunday morning, at 8:00, 10:00, and 11:00 a.m.

 

8:00 & 10:00 a.m.  Worship

These services share a character and setting in our sanctuary. Liturgy is richly lived out, never rigid or formal, but enlivening and dynamic. Songs and hymns from throughout the ages give voice to our faith, from strong chorales to words penned by our own pastors.  The music here is a definite highlight of life at St. Stephen’s, featuring our well-acclaimed new pipe organ and a weekly variety of instrumental support.  We are proud to use the new Evangelical Lutheran Worship hymnals

 

11:00 a.m. Christian Rock

Emerging Worship!  A New Dimension

Gathering Music & Fellowship at 11:00 a.m.

Holy Grounds Coffee Bar Open at 10:45 a.m.

If you’d like something a bit different, then our 11:00 a.m. Emerging rock service is for you! Still with an identifiable Lutheran liturgical format, the atmosphere is welcoming and fun. You’ll hear great contemporary Christian rock by our band, Steadfast, and you’ll love the intimacy of the communion circle and the devotion of lighting a candle to mark your prayers. If the friendly enthusiasm isn’t enough by itself, grab a cup of gourmet coffee from the Holy Grounds Coffee Bar!  You can follow these links to find out a bit more:

Our Worship Life

Through a great variety of opportunities, we gather to be nourished by God, to have our life restored, to be ready to live lives of service for others!  Worship is rooted in God’s Word, as Jesus of the Bible is interpreted for our lives.  Music at St. Stephen’s is always dynamic and moving, whether on our grand pipe organ or from our rock band, Steadfast; whether new songs with trumpets or old songs a capella.  At all Sunday services, you will always have the chance to receive the Lord’s Supper. And in this community, all are welcome to gather ——young and old, children and adults to share in prayer for each other and the needs of the world and to be enriched by God.

 

Christ, Be Our Light!

Our Life Together is centered in worship, sent to be God’s people of joy in the world!

Praying for Peace

Monthly Prayer Vigil for Peace-20th Day

On the 20th day of every month, we especially dedicate ourselves to concerns of Peace and Justice in the Middle East. From 5:30 to 6:00 p.m. we share beautiful peace songs, light candles of vigil, pray, and hear reflections on current events focusing on Christians in the Holy Land, as well as volatility of conflicts and war in the region. Sometimes videos and Mediterranean food become part of our focus as well.
