For April 2 and 4, 2021
Dear Friends,
St. Stephen's will be celebrating Palm Sunday in the Sanctuary at the Church. We will also have Good Friday 12:15 short service and 5:30 p.m. Stations of the Cross, both in the Sanctuary.
Easter Sunday will also be celebrated at Church and an Easter Egg hunt for the children will follow the service.
We still need to remain masked and observe the social distancing in the pews we set up for ourselves last Fall. Families of course can sit together.
This will probably last until mid-Summer, but we will continue to meet in person at church with all precautions in place.
After the 2-month pause imposed in January Bishop Pat has said we can meet again. Baker County is down to the lowest risk level and St. Stephen's is approved for in-person gathering.
Our ZOOMs have had attendance between 9 and 12 people, and I hope we will see some of you who have not been able to ZOOM these last few months as well.We will try to set up ZOOM viewing for the service as well for distance or home-bound parishioners, so watch for more news.
Blessings on all, and Happy Spring!
+Aletha
HOLY WEEK, 2020

Palm Sunday, April 5,
Dear Friends,
We are bringing you a virtual real time service from St. Stephen's on Good Friday. Beth has set up the altar for Holy Week, beginning with the beautiful Palm Sunday
array you saw in email last week and can see on our website, then she set up the black drapery for commemoration of the Passion of our Lord, which will be our meditation in this "meeting" as we retrace Jesus' path along the Via Dolorosa to Calvary where he took his last breath and died. Deacon Taylor will lead this beautiful conversation between Jesus and all God's children, so that we may always remember and hold this day in our hearts. Aletha will carry the laptop so you can
see Taylor's journey and she will respond for the people. This is our first attempt to be together in real time since the health crisis, our beloved congregation gathered
as one. We hope to get better at this and share more worship in such fellowship astime goes by, until this crisis has passed.
May you all be blessed this Holy Week
and
greet with joy our
Lord's victory over
Death in the Easter Resurrection.
