Art at St. Stephen’s
The arts can be a path to God. We offer music in a wide variety of forms, in worship and in concert, as you’ll see on the Music page.
We also value the visual arts, and offer avenues for those who create it and those who appreciate it.
Art Exhibits
Parishioners and others with a connection to St. Stephen’s Church exhibit their art in one of two spaces: a small gallery off the large fellowship hall and in the Café @ St. Stephen’s. In addition, the May Fair House has an annex dedicated to work by local artists and artisans, all available for purchase. Information about upcoming exhibitors is published in the Spirit and eSpirit, our weekly periodicals. Stop by these gallery spaces to take in the current exhibits and read more about the artists. Some pieces are available for purchase, with a percentage of the proceeds donated to the church.
Stations of the Cross
On Good Friday, following a noon service called the Liturgy for Good Friday, we set up Stations of the Cross in designed to help the faithful follow in our Lord’s footsteps on his journey to Calvary. The stations consist of a series of paintings by Laura James, whose work is influenced by Ethiopian iconography. Each painting corresponds to one of 14 stations on Jesus’ path to the cross. Participants may walk the stations in silence, or join a group to say prayers at each station.
