Prayer Shawls
The women in our congregation knit prayer shawls that are blessed before they are given to anyone who needs to feel God’s love and warmth around them. If you have this need contact office@ssitf.org.
Episcopal Pride
St Stephen-in-the-Field sponsored the Interfaith Booth at Silicon Valley Pride this summer. Several volunteers of the Rainbow Community walked in the episcopal delegation in the parade.
