Men's Bible Study
St. Stephen's men's Bible study group meets every Wednesday in the library at 12 noon and adjourns promptly at 1 pm. Recently the study group finished a 20-week study of Acts and the beginnings of the Christian church. Each meeting sets aside time for "special concerns" such as illnesses of loved ones, personal conflicts, thanksgivings for answered prayer, the future of our little church - all are taken to the Lord in prayer. We pray that as we walk out into the world, we will see the face of Jesus in every person we meet.
Adult Education
Adult education programs are held at 9 am between services on Sunday in the parish hall. February and March 2010: The Seven Mercies. What is the nature of God's mercy and what do we mean by a merciful God?
Begin Within: Centering Prayer and Meditation
Centering Prayer is an ancient prayer method that focuses on emptying the mind of all thoughts and images in order to become fully receptive to the Divine presence. We sit in a circle in silence for 45 minutes, beginning and ending with a soft bell tone. Some participants use a prayer word or mantra as an aid to centering. We meet at the home of Mike Zula and Kelly Laslie Wednesdays at 3:30 pm, 4405 S.E.Rex Street (503) 772-2095 All are welcome- no experience necessary.
