HOSPITALITY TO EAST AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS


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


Last time we talked about bringing our children to church school on time and some parents took it seriously. For the last few weeks I have noted some changes that need to be addressed. Our children need the Christian instructions in such an early age and if not they will never take our faith seriously when they grow up. The only people to blame will be parents not them. Parents remember that your children are gifts from God and He is the same God we need to take our children because He wants them. If not to God, then you know better to whom they will go to. Let our children be our number one responsibility.  Feeding them and clothing them is important but taking them to God is most important.
Rev Joseph.
