Dear People of God,

As we prepare to enter the season of Christmas, let us open ourselves to the presence of God as we celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Advent on Sunday, December 18, at 10:00 a.m.  During these days, we look forward to the triple coming of Jesus in history, in the grace of our daily lives, and at the end of time.  Together we ponder Emmanuel: God with us.  Just as we all experience difficulties amidst our joys, worshiping with the St. Stephen’s community gives us time to remember the good times and draw strength from God and one another to endure our trials and tribulations.

Our traditional Christmas Eve service begins at 7:00 p.m. and we look forward to welcoming you into our community of faith as we celebrate the incomprehensibility and felt reality of the Incarnation, i.e., God becoming a human being.  

McKeesport is alive and well and will be better with you at St. Stephen’s worshipping with us.

Sincerely,

The Rev. Dr. Moni McIntyre
Priest-in-Charge
