Please bring your children and youth to church this Sunday to gather together in worship and experience Father Ellsworth as St. Stephen's new rector.

Father Ellsworth
Come celebrate the new ministry of Father Ellsworth. Fill the church and meet your new rector. This will be Father Ellsworth's second Sunday at Stephen's.
Father Phil Ellsworth joins St. Stephen's as our 8th rector. He holds a Master of Divinity degree from Yale University, a Diploma in Anglican Studies from Berkeley Divinity School at Yale, and an M.A. and B.A. from Wheaton College. He has previously served as Associate Rector at St. Bartholomew's Church in New York City, and more recently as Associate Rector at St. Francis Episcopal Church in Potomac, Maryland.
His wife Victoria is a teacher, and was the founding director of the Middle School String Orchestra at Norwood School in Bethesda, Maryland. She is the daughter of medical missionaries, and was born in Brussels, Belgium, and raised in the Belgian Congo.
They have four grown children: Evan (an investment banker living with his wife in Los Angeles), Gabriel (a research associate at Harvard Business School), Gillian (a teacher living with her husband in Durham, N.C.), and Aaron (a college student who is moving to Phoenix). And most importantly, as of this April they have their first grandchild, Jack, living in Los Angeles.
