Welcome to GAP!

So we Praise God for the glorious Grace He has poured out on us who belong to His dear Son-Ephesians 1:6

What is GAP?

            GAP is a casual, intergenerational time of worship. This worship is meant to give us time to praise God and deepen our faith in new ways as a community. Each week, GAP addresses a theme that is relevant to our lives. We use music, skits, scripture, prayers, and meditational talks as a way to think about important topics in new ways. Wherever you may be in your walk of life, we invite you to come and join us here at GAP.

When is GAP?

            GAP happens at 6pm every Wednesday at St. Stephen Lutheran Church. Come at 5:30 for a home-cooked meal! We can’t wait to see you there!

Who is GAP for?

            Everyone is welcome at GAP! GAP is perfect for families who enjoy going to cabins or have other commitments on weekends. It is a wonderful way to relax and reflect midweek. GAP incorporates many forms of worship in order to provide a meaningful experience for people of every age.

We know how busy your life is. GAP is meant to work with your busy schedule, to give you and your family just a little time each week to relax and reflect. Don’t have time to cook? Come and enjoy a hot, home-cooked meal each week at 5:30. Don’t have time to worship on weekends? Come and enjoy time in worship and community at GAP! We are here for you!

The GAP drama team writes and performs skits each week. These skits are tailored to help us visualize the weekly theme and ask new questions about real topics. Check out the video below to see the GAP drama team's video skit of the poem 'Footprints in the Sand.'
