Education, Food and More at St. Stephen Church in September

Three Weeks of September Events at St. Stephen Lutheran Church

September will be a busy month for parishioners at St. Stephen Lutheran Church, Marlborough, with three consecutive Sundays of education and social activities. Following worship on September 10, members and guests can explore opportunities to volunteer or simply find out more about the church at the Ministry Kickoff Fair.
From congregation support through the greeting card ministry, newsletter, and parish life, to outreach through evangelism and social ministry, and to Sunday morning service support through Christian education, worship and music ministries and more – there are choices for all interests and ages. A cookout will follow the ministry fair, with Harold Greer of Marlborough at the grill, creating some congregation favorites, with others providing potluck side dishes. Weather permitting, worship, the ministry fair and cookout will be held outside.
Sunday, September 17 will be the fall starting date for Sunday School at 9:00 am for adults, with prayer as the first theme. Sunday School for the youngest disciples, pre-K through grade 3, will take place during the 10 am service, with a story and craft to match the church worship theme.
Sunday School for middle school through high school students will begin September 24, after the worship service, and continue on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. This program will be led by Pastor Rheanna Goodrich, and members and teachers Heidi Richard of Worcester, Stephanie Ruggiere (Shrewsbury), and Dianne Bruno (Hudson).
