St Stephen Episcopal Church, Oak Harbor, is a fully supporting member of the Episcopal Church, U.S.A.. We are not affiliated with the Anglican Communion Network, nor with any schismatic or reform movement or group which protests the Faith and Practice of the Episcopal Church, U.S.A.. We are a family centered, lay led, clergy guided, Christ governed community of Christians. We invite you to join us in our worship and service of Almighty God. Episcopal worship is rooted in an appreciation of the Holiness of God. A God who communicates himself, and yet is beyond our knowing. Divinity expressed in the humanity of Jesus has opened our way to the heart of God. Baptism is our intentional immersion into the Love of God. Our responsive relationship is sealed in the outward and visual sign of baptism. It is an eternal covenant and an inward grace is bestowed. |

| NEWS FLASH: The majority of Episcopalians in the United States voted to stay in the Episcopal Church today. "They did so by going to church, by receiving Communion, by participating in God’s mission and ministry, by praying, preaching and acting on God’s holy word, by working with youth and the elderly, by doing all the myriad things that have been doing through the history of the church, and by proclaiming, in many and varied ways, the love of God for all of God’s beloved children." The Rev Lauren Stanley |

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad. Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence whereever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Prayer for those in the Armed Forces of our Country. Book of Common Prayer (823) |
