Please respect others choices. Some vaccinated people may still wear masks for various reasons. Please continue to follow all COVID-19 guidelines as much as possible. We will continue to Live Stream our Sunday Worship Service on Facebook and WJMT.

MESSY CHURCH- August 8th

We are searching for volunteers to sign up as "Station Hosts" for our intergenerational form of Messy Church worship in August and September. The "Station Hosts" will ask participants the "Talk About" prompts that relate the activity to the theme and draw us closer to Jesus and help to monitor the overall flow of the activity. These first Messy Church events will have a limited number of 40 participants so we can suitably prepare an evening of food and fun following safe guidelines.  In the future, we hope to be able to gather with more people and more program engagement. We are so excited to get this form of worship off and running here at Saint Stephens! August Messy Church Outline.

Praying Together

While we are together ... but apart ... let us pray together and for one another.


Submit your prayer requests and pray for others ... 


Check out our new "Prayer" page.

Creating Community

None of us live our lives in isolation. People need people. We need each other. 


As Christians, we value time spent with one another. We like to share the stories of our faith with one another, to worship together, to build each other up, to lift one another up in prayer, to build community. That community is an integral part of who we are here at Saint Stephens.


We build community, not only with one another as fellow Christians, but with the people around us, people who may or may not belong to Saint Stephens. Much of our energy here is directed toward outreach and building community . . . through our Dinner @ Five community meal every Monday evening . . . through our support of the local Food Pantry . . . through providing meals for area youth filling backpacks during the school year and free Taco Tuesdays in the park during the summer months . . . through Vacation Bible School that is open to any child in our area . . . to our mission work in support of Re-Member, a non-profit organization that works with the Oglala Lakota Nation on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota . . . and in so many other ways. 


Click on our Community link to learn more about all the ways we work together to meet the needs we see in and around our community, locally and beyond. Learn more about what is happening "Under the Bridge," our new Blessing Closet, the Medical Ministry Loan Closet that serves the Merrill area, and so many other programs. We are here for one another.


Living & Loving One Another

Here at Saint Stephens, we genuinely LIKE each other, and we want to spend time with one another. 


We create and nurture opportunities to share time together. From Coffee Hours every Sunday morning after the 9:00 AM service ... to Vacation Bible School fun for a week in the summer with the kids ... to our Music Ministry ... to volunteer opportunities ... to Mission Ministry ... well, take a peek at our Congregational Life page and all of our fun photos and see for yourself!
