St. Stephen's 31 Days of Kindness

The prophet Micah told us there are three ways to please and serve God: To be just, be kind, and be humble. This October, put Micah's second call into practice each day of your life. Use our 31 Days of Kindness as your guide, and don't forget upcoming serving and giving opportunities in the life of St. Stephen!

Several times in October, you'll have the opportunity to serve or give back right here in the life of St. Stephen.
