Church News

Giving and Thanksgiving:  As we approach Thanksgiving, we invite you to join us in Christian giving of your time, talents, and treasure.  During the month of November our parish will engage in our annual stewardship campaign.  God gave His best to us--His Son--and he gave us all the abundance that we experience today.  Scripture exhorts us to return his love with our own devotion to Him and to each other.  In-gathering Sunday will be November 22nd, the Sunday before Thanksgiving, when we will offer our pledges to the Lord.
 

ARTIST OF THE MONTH:  Penny Koburger

Penny Koburger's oils and watercolors will hang in the St. Stephen’s gallery for the month of November.  This is her second show at our gallery.  After a successful career as a clinical psychologist, Penny has returned to painting full time. She has had solo shows in Vermont and New York, and had an oil painting accepted for the 2003 Brooks Calendar.  Penny is currently president of the Bethlehem Art Association and is a member of the Colonie Art League, the Greene County Council on the Arts, and West River Artists.  Be sure to visit the gallery and see this fine exhibit.
