Vacation Bible School August 9 – 13!
Ahoy Mates! Come aboard at St. Stephen and set sail this summer on a “High Seas Expedition.” Get ready for a swashbuckling adventure through God’s Word, and discover how God shows his powerful love through scripture. Participants will have a memorable time playing games, singing and creating crafts while making new friends along the way. The kids will also help fulfill a special mission project to make blankets for needy children in Africa with God’s love!
The 2010 St. Stephen Vacation Bible School will be held August 9-13, 2010 (9:00 AM – 12:00 noon daily)
Registration forms are available in the narthex and online in the Downloads area in the left hand column of this page
Inquirers’ Gatherings
Pastor Ballentine will meet with those new to the congregation, and any others who are interested, to explore the Lutheran tradition of Christianity. We’ll use Luther’s Small Catechism as our guide.
We’ll meet 10 – 10:45 on Sunday mornings, August 15, 22 and 29, in the College Room.
Take Advantage of Serious Study in the Lutheran Christian Tradition
ACTS Courses are sponsored by the Virginia Synod. Seminary professors teach courses in Lutheran Confessions, Old Testament, New Testament, Biblical Models of Leadership, Spirituality and Leadership, and Living the Christian Life.
The next course will be this fall. Professor Brian Peterson, from the Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary, will be teaching the course on the New Testament. To find more information, click here: http://www.vasynod.org/index.cfm/fa/content.view/menuID/1380.htm#Course
