Come Worship With Us


We welcome all to Saint Stephen’s Memorial Episcopal Church for a worship service in the language of Swahili. We opened our doors for the first time on March 2, 2003. We have services each Sunday morning.
 

Service time: 10:00 AM

(Please enter our worship space through the parking lot entrance)
The service is made lively by inspiring music and pambio (choruses) followed by spiritual sermons delivered by our two pastors, The Rev. Joseph Ngotho and The Rev. Francis K Gikonyo.
 Church School begins at 9:45 AM.
Church School is taught by instructors from the greater St. Stephen’s family and is conducted in English. Children from both congregations attend classes together. Parents are asked to come early enough to fill out a brief information form for their child.
               One of our future plans is to buy modern musical instruments and to find talented people to play the instruments during services for our enjoyment and to the glory of God. We know that with your help and support we will be able to reach many immigrants from eastern, central, and southern parts of Africa who live in Lynn and the surrounding area.
               God bless you all.

The Kiswahili Desk
KISWAHILI DESK. This is a fact that the economic hard time has hit every corner of our life. Our life style is changing while trying to cope with the daily hardship we are all experiencing. My question is: Will this change our attitude toward God and toward our faith?  I hope not.  God is our heavenly father and His love upon us does not change.  He will provide us with our basic things in life and He will give us hope that better times are coming.  This is what He says in Isaiah 41:10  Fear not, for I am with you, for I am your God.  I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.  In John 14: 1   He says, Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.  Hang in there better times are coming; stand strong in the faith of God and you will see His strong hand holding you through these uncertain times. God bless you.   Rev. Joseph Ngotho
