Ministries and Ministry Teams

​ACOLYTES

​.We encourage children and youth to serve as acolytes, called by God, and taught to serve as candlelighters and bearers of the cross during worship, understanding the importance of those acts and symbols to our faith.

Altar Flowers

Each Sunday, members of this team divide our altar flowers into smaller arrangements and deliver them to the sick and homebound members and friends of our congregation.

Angels on assignment/LAY PASTORAL CARE TEAM

These laypeople are trained and commissioned for pastoral care of our members, serving as Christ's hands and feet to bring the love of St. Stephen's out to those in need of it.

PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY

​​This ministry crafts comforting shawls which we then bless with prayer and send out to warm the shoulders and laps of the ill and homebound.

BEeatitudes

The BeeAtitudes is an ongoing quilting bee, and we welcome crafters of all genres (crochet, knit, needlepoint...whatever it is that you love to do!). We meet the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month from 2PM-5PM in the Broce Hall Annex at St. Stephen's. Visit the BEEatitudes on Facebook!

CHORAL AND WORSHIP MUSIC

​​Sally Wilson serves us as organist and as interim music director. Our choir sings often for special liturgies and events.

DAUGHTERS OF THE KING

​​ Empowered by the Holy Spirit, our vision as Daughters of the King is to know Jesus Christ, to make Him known to others, and to become reflections of God’s love throughout the world.

Current President: Stephanie Allen

EUCHARISTIC LAY MINISTERS

​Our Lay Eucharistic Ministers - persons who are licensed by the bishop to administer the elements - assist our clergy each Sunday in observing Holy Eucharist.

HOME COMMUNION
