Learning and Growing Together

Our programming for the Fall of 2024 will be listed in August. Please check back for our full listing of Sunday Forum speakers, Bible studies, book discussions, and small groups.

Daily Reflections: Every day, Monday through Saturday, our Saint Stephen’s clergy write a daily reflection is response to the scripture readings appointed for the day (from the Daily Lectionary, a two-year cycle of Bible readings). Besides the reflection itself, links to the scriptures, questions for self-reflection, and a daily challenge are included each day. Many people in our congregation have made reading these reflections a daily spiritual practice alongside our daily online prayer services. You can subscribe to receive Daily Reflections as an email every morning, or you can find the full archive of reflections posted our Daily Reflections page.

Sunday Morning Forums: During the program year (August through May), we host speakers and discussions on a range of topics and subjects that will enhance our spiritual life and sense of purpose and community. We are gathering in-person in the Parish Hall from 10:15-11:05 a.m. as well as online via YouTube livestream. A link to each week’s livestream can be found in our weekly e-newsletter, and past forums are archived on our YouTube channel. Speaker biographies and details on how to connect with us on Sunday mornings may be found on our Sunday Forum page. 

Small Groups: We offer small groups for discussion and Bible study throughout the week, days and evenings. We offer opportunities to study books of the Bible, discuss fiction and non-fiction books, share conversations, and develop friendships. Some groups are led by our clergy, while others are led by our parishioners. To learn more about our small groups, subscribe to our weekly e-news.

Youth Programs: Youth ministries at Saint Stephen’s include Misfit Mornings and Episcopal Youth Community activities on Sundays, plus Biscuits and Bible and Wednesday Night Light activities during the week throughout the school year. Saint Stephen’s youth also regularly participate in Diocesan youth events like Happening and Awakenings, and to camp and serve on staff at Camp McDowell.
