St. Stephen’s Waretown

Our parishioners support a variety of outreach programs within the Waretown area and also welcome the generosity of neighbors in the surrounding area. These include a Food Pantry, the Good Samaritan House for homeless men in transition, and the Thrift Store which provides clothing and household items at reduced prices. We welcome multiple 12-step groups into our Parish Hall, a Boy Scout Troop, and Gift Auctions. We have a Sunday worship service, a Saturday evening service in our Garden Chapel during the spring through autumn months, Sunday School, Sunday Seminar Bible Study discussion group, Bible Study on Wednesday evening, and blessing of the animals on St. Francis Day. We also host a Pancake Supper and Lenten Meals and program evening, Welcome Home Sunday in September, Harvest Supper before Thanksgiving, an All-American Breakfast on Sundays, and a Christmas pageant. Our youth are below the EYC, and our ladies enjoy the ECW with craft shows and bake sales. Each month, we publish a Life and Times for all parishioners to read and enjoy.

Our Mission: Welcoming Everyone, Connecting with God, Building Community, Transforming Lives.

OUR MISSION

Welcoming Everyone, Connecting with God,  Building Community, Transforming Lives

We’ve seen the transformation hundreds of times – people who came to us full of doubt and uncertainty become secure in the knowledge of their rightful place in God’s great kingdom. The change may start slowly – in a Bible Study class or choir participation, perhaps – but once it begins, it picks up speed. The good works, shared experiences, time spent in prayer – all bring us closer to our highest calling.
