As we begin to see forecasts of 90s and 100+, St. Stephen and other area churches are making final prepara- tions to host Room in the Inn this summer. As most members and friends of St. Stephen know, Room in the Inn (RITI) is our hospitality mission to men currently experiencing homelessness during the hottest and coldest months of the year.
During July and August, we will once again welcome guests for an overnight stay in Parish Hall— providing a comfortable place to sleep in a safe environment, as well as a good dinner and breakfast the following morning. Most of all we provide them Christian hospitality.
We will begin hosting 10 guests, and may increase up to 15, depending on the need for extra shelter beds this summer.
With current Covid case counts and transmission rates being low in Fort Worth, St. Stephen will not require Covid vaccinations for volunteers or guests—but we continue to HIGHLY RECOMMEND all participants to have had flu shots and be fully vaccinated for Covid. This is particularly important for everyone 60+ years of age, and/or who have underlying health conditions.

Once a month, St. Stephen Presbyterian Church prepares and delivers approximately 400 sack lunches to the Presbyterian Night Shelter to help feed their guests and staff.
St. Stephen is active in various denominational mission opportunities and makes regular financial contributions to Presbyterian Church (USA) Mission Causes; Grace Presbytery Mission Support; Synod of the Sun educational and leadership mission; the Christmas Joy Offering; One Great Hour of Sharing; and the Theological Education Fund.
We also regularly announce ways to participate in Presbyterian Disaster Relief funding for regions of the world in critical need of funding.
St. Stephen is part of the Samaritan House Supper Club, a way for faith communities to provide a home-cooked meal for the residents of Samaritan House. On the third Friday of each month we prepare and serve dinner to the residents, all of whom are affected by HIV/AIDS and need the housing and other services provided by Samaritan House. Your donation can help provide a meal by selecting “Samaritan House Supper Club” under the “FUND” drop down menu (see the “Donate” button on home page) OR mail a check to the church.
• We also provide Easter Baskets filled with bunnies, goodies, and gift cards to various children in need via the Presbyterian Children’s Homes and Services network.
