I was glad when they said unto me let us go into the House of the Lord. (Psalm 122, 1.)

All of us at St. Stephen’s are so glad to see familiar faces
and those who are visiting with us today.

Welcome to the Lord's House!

We pray you'll feel instantly at home in the warm and personal fellowship of our 
Risen Lord here in St. Stephen's and will return to share with us again, soon.  
Our parish, part of the Anglican Church in America, is a traditional church, 
worshipping in the ancient fashion passed down to us directly from our Faith's earliest 
beginnings over 20 centuries ago.  
We worship our Lord using liturgy, a term derived from a Greek word meaning 
'the work of the people.'  
Beautiful and Scriptural, its simple elegance comes to us from the worship used originally 
by the Hebrews in the temple and developed by the undivided church for some 15 centuries.  
Our Book of Common Prayer, the basis of our worship, was translated and arranged by 
Anglican divines some four and a half centuries ago.  
Well over 70 million Anglicans are worshiping in like fashion all over the world. 
We pray it blesses you! 
We have no doctrine apart from God's Word, 
as documented in the Holy Bible and seek to be the image of our wonderful Lord 
to our community and parishioners alike. 
If you're a "first-timer" here, we'd ask you to help us to get to know you  
by placing a completed  "visitor card" in the alms basin -- or give to an usher.  
After the service, you are most welcome to join us for coffee and fellowship in  our parish hall.

Again, we are so happy you are with us this blessed day
that the Lord has made.
