Throughout the year, with an open heart and an open mind, we are nourished and strengthened in our Christian journey through participation in a variety of formation and education opportunities. All are welcome!
Every week, 12-15 participants meet for Biblical Studies in order to familiarize themselves with the various traditions and sources that contribute to the understanding of scripture. Four books have been read and discussed this year. Some of the books this group has read: Beyond Belief: The Secret Gospel of Thomas by Elaine Pagels; Paul and Jesus by James D. Tabor; No god by God: The Origins, Evolution and Future of Islam by Reza Aslan.
This group was established in 2016 by the Decker Fund Committee for those over 60 years of age, per the bequest’s guidelines. Please contact Lori Seibert for more information. loriaseibert@gmail.com
The Mary Brewster Fund was established with the purpose of enhancing the personal and spiritual growth of women at St. Stephen’s parish. The fund organizes tours, speaking-engagements, and retreats. Events are held throughout the year to cultivate fellowship, aiding the spirituality of women parishioners and educating the parish regarding women’s experiences.
