What to expect on Sunday

St. Stephen's is a parish of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. Our worship is rooted in the Book of Common Prayer, and it is open to anyone who wants to join us.

Come as you are. You will be greeted at the door and handed a bulletin that guides you through the service. You don't need to know the prayers or when to stand and sit; follow along in the bulletin and the prayer book, or simply watch and listen.

The service includes readings from Scripture, a sermon, prayers, music, and the Holy Eucharist. All baptized Christians are welcome to receive communion, and anyone may come forward for a blessing.

Afterward, stay for coffee hour in the parish hall and meet the people of St. Stephen's.
