We are very happy to welcome Bishop Melissa Skelton to worship with us this Sunday at both services: 8:00 a.m. & 11:00 a.m.  We look forward to growth and inspiration from her words of wisdom and experiences shared with us as we host this special event at St. Stephens.

The Right Reverend Melissa Skelton was ordained and installed as the 9th Bishop of the Diocese of New Westminster in Vancouver on St. David’s Day, March 1st, 2014.  On that day Bishop Melissa began the next phase of a remarkable career in ministry.

As Bishop of the Diocese of New Westminster, the Right Reverend Melissa Skelton is the chief executive officer of the diocese and the chief liturgical officer, being responsible to head the synod, to ordain, confirm, and to appoint others to church office.The bishop provides pastoral oversight of the whole church within the diocese, and plays a leadership role also at the provincial, national and international level. All significant decision-making by the clergy and laity gathered in synod or council requires the assent of the bishop to become operative.
