Worship Online

St. Stephen continues to gather for worship, but care and concern for the health of our community has changed the nature of worship this season of Lent! Beginning today, we gather online at 10 a.m. with the help of Facebook live. Click the following link to find St. Stephen's Facebook page and be a part of worship at 10 a.m.:
facebook.com/st.stephen.urbandale

The link will be active 10 minutes before worship. Consider logging on a bit early to check your settings. A few pointers for access, especially if you don't have a Facebook account:

To access the video, you will need to scroll down on the Facebook page to "Posts."
Make sure that the volume on your computer isn't muted, and that the video's volume isn't muted.
Some viewers without Facebook accounts have had better luck using a laptop or desktop, rather than a mobile device, to view Facebook live.

We will be refining our online worship accessibility this week. We're learning too. Don't let yourself get frustrated if it isn't working immediately!

You can also download a copy of the worship bulletin here. Though we gather online, we still gather as one, together with the whole church, to give thanks that we are claimed by God’s love and called to share that love with all the world.

We don’t yet know how long we’ll be gathering online. For the near future, we’ll be gathering through the weekend of March 29. We’ll continue to evaluate circumstances and plan accordingly. We don’t yet know how this will affect Easter Sunday, April 12. However, we know and trust that nothing can separate us from the love of God.

Stay tuned to discover how we’ll continue to worship in the month ahead, and how we’ll continue to gather to consider how we’re each “Called to Work”.
