On Sunday January 6, 2008 we celebrated Pastor Thomas D. Swasko's retirement after 34 years of ministry at St. Stephen.

A special worship service and fellowship lunch marked this extraordinary event.

In honor of his ministry the church named our new library after Pastor & Maxine Swasko.

Also, a new communion set was dedicated for the church in honor of pastor Swasko.

 

The chancel is decorated for Epiphany Sunday.

 

Pastor Swasko begins this special worship service.

Pastor gives out first communion bibles and acolyte service awards.
