Welcome to St. Stephens Lutheran Church

Sunday Services 9:30 AM Bible Study 11:00 AM

Lord, as we come together this Christmas, we ask for Your blessing upon our family. Unite our hearts in love, understanding, and peace. May the joy of this season fill our home, and may we continue to grow in love and support for one another. As we celebrate the birth of the Prince of Peace, we pray for peace on earth. Help us to be instruments of Your peace in our families, communities, and beyond. Amen

He is a graduate of Concordia University Ann Arbor and Concordia Seminary in St. Louis. Ask him about Ted Drewes and he’ll tell you about his favorite frozen custard!

VETERANS DAY!

We had a moving worship service and a great time eating a lot of food, all in the name of celebrating and honoring our Veterans on Sunday, November 9. L to R: Pastor Overway, Jackie Hare-Airforce, Keith Hoffman-Army, Jim Newman-Army, Kim Loncar- Airforce, Greg Jacobs- Army. We missed Wayne Tanner-Army, who is spending some time in Florida.
