St. Stephen's Episcopal Church

About this church

St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Huntsville gathers for worship on Sunday mornings at 8:00 and 10:30. The 8:00 a.m. Holy Eucharist, Rite II, meets in St. Luke's Chapel and includes prayers for healing and anointing. The 10:30 a.m. Holy Eucharist, Rite II, takes place in the nave. Worship follows The Book of Common Prayer, with Scripture readings, a sermon, prayers, and Communion, and the bulletin provides what a newcomer needs to follow along. Sunday services typically run about an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes, with the early service usually shorter. On Wednesdays, Centering Prayer meets at 11:30 a.m. and a Holy Eucharist is held at 5:45 p.m. in St. Luke's Chapel, followed by a potluck dinner and Bible study. The fourth Wednesday is different, with a spaghetti supper and family activity at 5:00 p.m. followed by Compline.

Children take part in the 10:30 service by following the Children's Cross in the procession and then going to Children's Chapel for a story, conversation, prayer, and an activity. Activity bags are in the back of the church, and an infant quiet room near the narthex doors lets families nurse or rest while still seeing and hearing the service. Other opportunities include a Bibles & Bagels gathering at 9:15 on Sundays, Coffee & Conversation on some Wednesdays, a monthly Beans and Rice food distribution, and a Child Development Center. The site says there is no dress code, so some attend in jeans and others dress up. Confirm times on the website or by calling the office at (256) 881-7223 before visiting.
