Family with young Children are welcome in the sanctuary during the service. We also have a nursery on site for use during the 10 a.m. service.
This class meets Sundays at 10 am. They go to church during the Peace. The class consists of reading and discussing a Bible story followed by a related craft. Outreach projects such as food collection for Lighthouse and blessing bags for the homeless are projects they have spearheaded for the church. Third and fourth graders can become acolytes and serve during the service.
St. Stephens is participating with the Diocese and nearby churches in a program of joint monthly events on a rotating basis. Merging our programing for these kids will be enriching and enable us to continue providing special outings and pilgrimage/mission trips. Our youth are continuing to participate in inter-generational outreach/community service projects such as Rise Against Hunger, and to support parish social events by helping to cook, serve and clean up.
We organize a trip for our high schoolers every few years. In the past, our High Schoolers have made pilgramages to Puerto Rico, New York, Amish Pennsylvania, Colorado and the Dominican Republic. While on the trips, the youth perform service projects, and learn about church history.
