Partnership with Open Door Outreach Center

St. Stephen is entering into a partnership with Open Door Outreach Center, in Waterford. We will provide the facility space and volunteers at St. Stephen to operate a satellite food pantry.  Open Door will provide all necessary equipment, supplies and food. They will also provide all training needed to our volunteers.  The satellite food pantry will begin after the first of the year. Last Sunday, representatives from Open Door were here during Bible Study to tell us more about this partnership and to answer questions. They will join us again soon to give us more information and give us an update on the progress. Those interested in volunteering and learning more are being asked to provide their name and contact information on the sign up sheet at the Welcome Desk in the church lobby. 



We are St. Stephen…….……..we are God’s Hands and Feet!

I am a Families First Worker for Wellspring Lutheran Services and member of St.

Stephen. I also head the Outreach Ministry here at the church. Myself and team at

Wellspring are referred by Child Protection Services (CPS) to families in severe crisis.

I’m looking for individuals to be God’s Hands and Feet….resources who can help lift

families out of their specific circumstance and onto a better path. Unfortunately, with

government changes, funds and resources have changed, bringing additional

challenges. Please sign up on the bulletin board in the church lobby

 for any area you feel you could help best and I will call when a situation fits your area of interest.
