The words St. Stephen's Episcopal Church stacked on top of each other in gold with black outline.  There is a cross in place of the T in Stephen's. The cross has an outlined circle with the words Loving God, Sharing Jesus and Rejoicing in the Spirit surrounding the cross  bars. In the center of the cross is a red heart with a descending dove in white.

Calling all
Daughters of the King

I see that St. Stephen's has a chapter of the Daughters of the King (DOK.) Every rector loves their Daughters. Please let me know who you are and let's revive our chapter.

For whom are you praying?

Who do you know that doesn’t have a Church Home?


Friends, we are called to invite people into a relationship with Christ. I am asking you to pray daily for one person who does not currently worship at a church. We will invite them later. For now, pray for them.
