Senior Adults

Senior Adults at St. Stephen’s Church

Adults of all ages take part in nearly everything we offer at St. Stephen’s Church, from small groups to the Women of St. Stephen’s, outreach ministries to cooking parish suppers or May Fair House foods, attending the parish weekend at Shrine Mont and Bible study–to name just some of these activities. Senior adults are among our most active leaders and participants in pastoral care, worship, small groups, Bible study, the Women of St. Stephen’s, men’s prayer groups, May Fair House, our food ministry and other outreach ministries.

Some offerings are especially for senior adults:

Small groups and focus groups

Some small groups or focus groups at St. Stephen’s are specifically designed for senior adults. Information about groups coming in the fall of 2026 will be available on this page soon.

Retirement communities

St. Stephen’s clergy regularly visit Westminster-Canterbury and Cedarfield, where many St. Stephen’s parishioners live. Our clergy lead worship services at Westminster-Canterbury, and work in partnership with area churches to provide support at Cedarfield. The clergy host receptions for St. Stephen’s parishioners at Westminster-Canterbury as well as social events at Cedarfield. Residents in each of these communities send information and invitations to parishioners; to ensure you’re on the list to receive these communications, send an email to Mary Feldman.

EpiscoPals

The EpiscoPals is a spirited group of dedicated parishioners committed to the care and support of clergy and staff. By taking on projects beyond the capacity of paid staff, providing coverage when staff or lay resources are constrained, or hosting social events to express our gratitude for all they do, the EpiscoPals help meet the unmet needs of church operations and ministries as identified by clergy, staff, lay committees, or EpiscoPals team members.
