Bravo Cowlitz region! Youth and Family Link's food distribution is a stationary site similar to FISH'S rotating distribution, AND a larger version of the St. Stephen's "Blessings Box" located on the Louisiana side of our church building! Spread the word! Together we can!!

A huge thank you to Cowlitz County ABATE, AWPPW Union Hall, and Molina Healthcare for their generous donations to help stock the Youth and Family Link Food Pantry! Your support helps ensure that local individuals and families have access to food when they need it most.

Our Food Pantry is available to anyone in the community and can be accessed during our regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. There is no registration, paperwork, or sign-in required. Simply stop by and discreetly take what your family needs.

We also gladly accept food donations during business hours and are always grateful for the support of our community partners and neighbors who help keep our shelves stocked.

Thank you to everyone who helps make this resource possible. Together, we are building a stronger, healthier community! ❤️

Sundays are often celebrations of musical gifts of various members, and June 14th was one of them as we enjoyed the lovely threads of teen Luke Askeland's flute! Give thanks!

This past Sunday, 7 June 2026, a parishioner, Rob Painter-Johnson delivered the homily as St. Stephen's begins to celebrate LGBTQ+++ PRIDE Month. Rob discussed his faith as it related to his own personal "coming out" story.

Due to some unfortunate technical problem, the service in question only partially uploaded to our Youtube page. There have been several requests for copies of Rob's homily, so he agreed to provide a "practice run" made Saturday night. The first photo is of the actual service on the 7th, the video is from the night before. Please feel free to share.

HAPPY PRIDE!
