Larry Bishop is helping us get our St Stephen’s (StSt) Table food supplies better organized in the Handel Room, with shelves he’s moved from the basement. If you see Larry at Tuesday Chili or Saturday Breakfast, you might take a look and add your word of thanks. Thanks also go to Mary Komachi for organizing! A word to Matt and the Choir, please be kind about the “work in process” state of your part of the shared space. Thanks!
A big Thank You goes to Roberta Taussig for her keen eye this week placing our order at the Food Bank for StSt Table. Roberta found a case of eggs for Sat. Breakfast – that’s a case, not a dozen – for $1.25, and 31 lbs of chicken for Saturday lunch for less than $3. Wow, $4.25! Thanks, Roberta.
This Sunday
9 a.m. Adult Inquiry continues its discussion of Paul's Letter to the Romans, led by Mic & Jean Fleming.
Cynthia Reynolds is our invited preacher at 7:45 & 10 a.m. Eucharist.
Cynthia is a member of our Communion in the Park (CiP) board and active participant in the leadership of our weekly non-denominational outdoor service at 1pm for the un-housed and housed together. Cynthia posts CiP on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=157994437554080. She is considering a call to ordained ministry in the Episcopal Church.
At St Stephen’s, we celebrate one message spoken by many voices. That message is that we are all welcome and fed at God's Table.
On the Rota
The “Rota” is our Episcopal word for the “rotation” or schedule of who’s serving where and when.
This week’s worship Rota (745 and 10am) is:
- 1st Lesson: Mic Fleming and Laura Watkins;
- Epistle Lesson: Jean Fleming and Dick Emlaw;
- Intercessory Prayer: Joyce Lew and Darragh Lalich;
- Servers: Bobby Berstler and Mike Zula;

- 10am Greeters: Molly & Tom Bartlett
If you’re on the Rota and can’t be here Sunday, please contact us Friday in the parish office.
This Saturday, StSt Table and ONW
At 7:30am, Alexeisia Castalano and his crew from A+G Artistry Development (formerly UPIA) return to serve another wonderful Saturday Breakfast AND special lunch at 2pm. Doors open at 7:30am for coffee and cereal. Eggs served at 9am; Fried chicken at 2. Regular StSt Table volunteers are asked to come help serve and greet folks in the hall at both meals. Foot care is provided by Operation Nightwatch (ONW) at 10am, and ONW volunteers will be here to continue painting the hall in the afternoon.

We offer the hospitality of hot coffee, sandwiches, and conversation along with blankets and clothes as needed. Those currently signed up are: Joshua “Br. Gregory” & Macy Kingsley; Dan & Marcos German-Domingues; and Molly & Tom Bartlett. We need extra volunteers who can come at 6:30 and plan to not see Br. Gregory’s concert at 7pm in the church.
