Habitat In-Gathering Time THIS WEEKEND!
|
Thank you all for filling your house banks during this year's Lenten season. We will
gather up your generous donations on the weekend after Easter - April 7th and 8th. We will have a special container at the altar for your house banks on these dates. If you wish to bring a check instead of your house bank, please make it out to "Habitat for Humanity Central Arizona", with "St. Stephen's Episcopal Church" on the subject line. We prefer checks for the in-gathering, as they will save our counters a lot of time. They will also allow you to take your federal deduction and your state tax credit. We will, of course, welcome cash in the house banks if that is how you wish to contribute.

When Halliday dies, he leaves his immense fortune to the first person to find a digital Easter egg he has hidden somewhere in the OASIS, sparking a contest that grips the entire world. When an unlikely young hero named Wade Watts (Tye Sheridan) decides to join the contest, he is hurled into a breakneck, reality-bending treasure hunt through a fantastical universe of mystery, discovery and danger.

Community Dinners return in April!
|
We missed February because we didn't have a cook, and we didn't last month because it was Good Friday.
Save the date,
Friday, April 27. A menu hasn't been chosen yet, so keep checking here for information.
A sign up sheet is will be outside the sanctuary.
We have cooks for May but still need cooks for the rest of the year, so remember you can cook with a little help from your friends. You can reach out to Darrell Priddy via phone, email or after church with any questions or if you want to get involved!

Education for Ministry (EfM)
|
Every baptized person is called to ministry. The Education for Ministry (EfM) program provides people with an opportunity to discover how to respond to the call to Christian service and carry out their ministries. It is a four-year theological education program of the School of Theology of the University of the South in Sewanee, TN. Participants commit one year at a time to meet weekly in 2.5 hour seminars led by a trained mentor.
The seminars furnish an opportunity to deepen ones understanding of the reading materials which, over the four years, cover the Bible, church history, and theology
. More important is the development of skills in theological reflection. In a conversational, wondering, and musing environment, participants examine their own beliefs and their relationships to our culture and the tradition of our Christian faith. Through this process participants learn what it means to be effective ministers in the world.
The program will start at the beginning of September and last nine months. Tuition is $375/yr and assistance is available. If this sounds of interest to you, please contact Brian Belanger at 480-948-3420 for more information.
