Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

    --- Philippians 4: 5-6


SOCIETY OF ST. STEPHEN

Every first Sunday the communion rail offering is collected for the Society of St. Stephen as a ministry of the poor. Our group dispenses money to people in financial need for bills such as rent, utilities and necessities of life. We distributed the funds at the Southside Community Center once a week. Application for funds is made at Southside and determined by criteria of need and availability of funds.

Your donation is greatly appreciated. Simply bring your check or money order to the alter as you receive communion every first Sunday. Or you may give to the church office designated for the Society.
