Christian Education

    Christian education at St. Stephen's is lively and growing!  If you
    have any questions or would like to know more about our
    Christian Education program, please contact Kathryn Kendrick,
    Christian Education Coordinator by e-mail or at 334-207-4506.   

    Sunday School

    Sunday School begins at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday mornings, with
    children joining the adult worship service after class to receive
    communion.  We have three classes with two leaders for each
    class:

  • Children of God (2-6 years)

  • Disciples (7-11 years)

  • Apostles (12 and up)

    Topics for the older two classes this fall have been God loves
    you, We love God, We love God through loving our neighbor, and
    prayer.

    Sunday Children's Chapel

    We had our first Children's Chapel Sunday in early November
    and have plans for more!  All three Sunday School classes
    concluded our unit on prayer with a service in the art room of St.
    Stephen’s Sunday morning.  Youth participated by singing
    together, reading scripture, offering prayers with prayer beads
    and writing them on paper to bring to the altar, and sharing
    communion with one another.  

    Tuesday Family Eucharist

    This weekday service, which begins on Tuesdays at 5:30, allows
    children to have some calm reflection time, sing and pray
    together, and be a part of communion.  We learn about God's
    love, loving our neighbors, prayer, and Scripture.  Dinner is
    provided on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month.   

    Other Things That We Do. . .

    Fellowship

    We host Sunday family outings monthly during the year, such as
    November's Family Bowling trip and an upcoming holiday concert
    in December.

    We are also working toward starting a Teen Youth Group on
    Thursdays to support teens who want to go deeper in their
    spirituality and grow closer to one another.  

    B-READY After-School Program Support

    We work with the B-READY after-school program staff and
    provide support for:  

  • “Five Minutes of Fame": Over the course of the year, staff
    spend a half an hour of one-on-one time with each child in the
    program, learning about their families, hobbies, challenges,
    hopes, and joys.

  • Special Activities:  We help with special activities, such as
    leading the team-building activities that supported the after-
    school program's Teamwork theme this past fall.
