Serving Our Community Since 1862
We welcome you to the worship of God through the liturgy of the Anglican Church.
Like the early Church (Acts 2:42), we meet each Sunday to celebrate the Holy Eucharist.
Eucharist means “thanksgiving” and refers to the thanks we give to God for the gift of life, for the continuing presence of the Holy Spirit, and most of all, for the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
When: July 14 - 15 - 16
Time: 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
St. Stephen’s Anglican Church is pleased to provide a Vacation Bible Study for Preschoolers in July.
This will be awesome, so see you there. -Katherine and Chantal

Our new page The Loving Shepherd is based on an idea, a concept, a poem and an original story The Lazy Boy Chair submitted by J. Walker.
Loving Shepherd of Thy sheep
Jane Leeson (1807-82)
Loving Shepherd of Thy sheep,
Keep Thy lamb, in safety keep;
Nothing can Thy power withstand,
None can pluck me from Thy hand.
‘There are lots of reasons why people stop going to church. They move house, have a baby or simply get out of the habit. Some people feel embarrassed about going back to church after a long absence, but if someone invites them, then they gladly go, and a special occasion makes it even easier.
Back to Church Sunday on September 27, 2009 is just such an opportunity. The idea is to invite friends, neighbours or anyone who has had a connection with church in the past, to a service to see what they have been missing.
This isn’t about putting leaflets through strangers’ doors but rather thinking of who might welcome a heartfelt invitation. This whole idea was first tried in England in 2004. Each year more and more dioceses around the world are giving it a go.
Why? Because the results have been phenomenal! The success of running such an event has been outstanding with churches reporting sustained increases in their congregations of 10 per cent and more. Many churches around the world are preparing to welcome back old faces on September 27 again.’
