Combined Services

While we are in our transition period, we will remain to have combined services at 10:30 am. Please check our Worship Page. It will inform you which church is holding service. Either St. Stephens or Bethany Lutheran. We are two churches of different denominations working together. This is a unique opportunity that we share and we are an example for the diocese and other congregations.

Ongoing Events

Bible/Book Study – Wednesdays at 12:00 Noon – Bethany Lutheran – The group is studying the book: “The God You Need to Know” by Margaret Feinberg. Understand and experience the Holy Spirit, moving beyond viewing the Spirit as a mystery to recognizing its active daily presence. The book explores the Spirit’s role throughout Scripture, particularly in often overlooked Old Testament passages. Books are still available. Bring your own Brown Bag Lunch. Coffee and water provided. (Please make note, there will be no Bible/Book Study on Wednesday, April 1st due to Holy Week Activities-Bible/Book Study will resume on Wednesday, April 8th)
