As per our diocesan canons, St. Stephen’s will hold its Annual Meeting on February 1, 2026 following the 10am service. There will be no 8am service on this day so that our full faith community can be present. The rector will make a brief address, followed by the treasurer, who will present the 2026 budget and review the 2025 budget year end information. 2026 Vestry candidates will be presented for consideration.  You will receive more information about each of them in the new year but as a reminder, our four candidates are: Marsha Dugan, Jill Hinds, Elliott Main, and Jim Purvis (Junior Warden candidate). The vestry has done an outstanding job this year and we will give particular thanks for the four members who are rotating off after the annual meeting: Chris Brent, Janice Dalzel-Piper, Chuck Eaton, and Karen Gullett.
