St. Stephen’s: Regathering Survey
As of July 9, we've received 42 responses to our survey. If you would still like to take our Regathering Survey, you can find it here. As part of our planning to reopen the St. Stephen’s buildings, the Regathering Task Force would would like to hear from everyone.
When our reopening plan is prepared, it will be submitted to Bishop Jennifer for approval. When that is approved and Vigo County numbers fall into an acceptable range, we will announce in-person services plans. Our plan will have many parts, many to do with how we will clean the building between uses and help people maintain physical distance, all in accord with the diocesan reopening plan, which you can see here.
Members of the Regathering Task Force are the Rector, Drew Downs, our deacon, Deby Veach, Sr. Warden Robin Willis, Jr Warden Geoff Wayton, John Hegedus, and Dennis Dieken.
Continuing Financial Giving We understand that the COVID19 epidemic is causing a great deal of stress and confusion for all of us. Without regular in-person gatherings, you may not know how to continue your pledge or even know how to give. And this time of quarantine may be putting a financial strain on you or your family.
The treasurer hopes that you consider continuing to give what you can during this season to help maintain our ministry.
Here are three ways you can do that:
1) Mail a check to the church.
2) Use online banking to have your bank send a check directly.
3) The diocese is now processing online gifts on behalf of the
church. So you may go to https://onrealm.org/indydio/-/give/covid19
and your pledge will come to St. Stephen's.
While the church building is dark, there is light still shining.
Manna From Seven is still distributing food and some hygiene items on Fridays. They are still providing laundry services and putting food in our blessing box.
They could use our help. How? By sending them either a check or a Walmart gift card to help purchase needed items. Your monetary donation is tax deductible.
Please make checks payable to Manna from Seven, Inc and mail to their treasurer: Mike Cahill, 9730 Conner Cr, Terre Haute IN 47802.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Deby Veach at
217-251-7239 or dveach53@yahoo.com Thank you
