Mark the calendar for Christmas weekend!
On Christmas Eve day, Dec. 24, 7:30-10am, families with children are especially invited to join a special Saturday Breakfast at St. Stephen’s (StSt) Table, hosted by the families of our partner in service, Waverly Heights United Church of Christ. Children and youth will also join us from other UCC congregations. This is a great time for our children and youth to meet and join in serving others.
Christmas Eve Midnight Mass begins with carols at 10:30pm. Mass starts at 11pm. Paul is preaching. Fr. Dennis presides.
Christmas Day Eucharist is at 7:45 and 10am. Fr. Dennis preaches and presides. During the 10am service, children are invited to a special story & activity time with member Edmundo Cardenas and Paul. Parents interested in helping, see Paul.
Merry (early) Christmas to Operation Nightwatch (ONW)
Our friends at ONW will celebrate the holiday season tonight at their 7-11pm Hospitality Center in the parish hall, making decorations for a 12-foot Christmas Tree provided by an anonymous member of StSt (and hauled into the hall by ONW’s Tuesday night Bible Study group). Come see their decorated tree this Sunday. It has been a great first full-year having ONW with us! ONW has a Christmas Eve service in the hall next Saturday at 4pm.
Help green the church, Thursday Dec. 22, at 6-7:30pm, come help decorate the church for Christmas. Bring any extra greens from your yard to add to those already donated. We hope the Choir can join us before their 7:30 rehearsal.
