St Stephens Presbyterian Church

2424 NW 50th  (NW 50th & Villa)

We have not been able to confirm our speaker we planned for this month so we are working on a contingency plan.  I hope this does not deter you from coming because some of our best meetings have been when we wing it!

April is a busy month with all of the walks going on across the state so don’t forget that the Central Oklahoma Walk is on Sat, April 30th at Wildhorse Park in Mustang. Registration opens at 9:00 am and the walk starts at 10:00 am.  Our goal is to have 1,100 participants and raise $125,000.  Every bit counts so round up your friends and family and join us for a fun day.
