Mary Brewster
Women's Group
The Mary Brewster Fund was established
for the women of St. Stephen’s in memory of
Ursula Mary Brewster.
The Committee has strived to make use of the funds and offer events that facilitate spirituality, fellowship, learning, and fun!
Events, retreats and outings are scheduled throughout the year.
Retreats
We hold an annual Men's Retreat and Women's Retreat. These weekends provide opportunities for spiritual focus and community building. In 2026, the Men's Retreat focused on The Rule of St. Benedict, and the Women's Retreat focused on the Spirituality of Trees. Both retreats took place at Trinity Conference Center in Cornwall, CT, a favorite spot.

Life Long Learners Group
Our Life Long Learning Group
consists of parishioners who like to read.
The Decker Fund sponsors the books, so that each one, regardless of the cover price, is offered for $10/book. Every month to six weeks, a new book is selected
and then discussed on Zoom.
Members of the group may take turns leading.
Decker Fund
The Decker Fund was established through a gift to St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church from the Carol T. Decker Revocable Trust in 2013. The use of the fund is for the benefit of elderly parishioners (aged 60 and older) and is administered by a committee. The Decker fund subsidizes in part the salary of the Associate for Caring Ministries. The fund also sponsors the Life Long Learners book group as well as organizing social events and outings for those 60+.
