The Society of
St. Stephen
Started in 1967 in Houston, the local group formed in 1978 as a
joint effort of First United Methodist Church and Chapelwood. The
group has grown since that time to include Christ Lutheran Church.
The purpose of the Society of St. Stephen is to help families who
temporarily need monetary support due to circumstances beyond their
control. Calls for assistance are distributed to various members of
the society, who in turn interview, and visit, the persons
requesting help.
Areas where help is given are partial rent payments, food, utility
bills, and medical needs --- cash is never given.
Funding for the Society comes from all 3 churches, communion
offerings, individual contributions, and our annual spaghetti
dinner.
New members to the Society of St. Stephen are always welcome. We
invite everyone to attend our meetings and get involved. Check your
individual church newsletters for time and location.
Case workers to do the work of interviews are needed. For more
information call the church office.
