Stephen Ministries

 

They Are among Us! No, we're not talking about angels or aliens. We're talking about individuals who care about others. The Scriptures describe their service well: "Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering" (Hebrews 13:3). If you or someone you know wants to do more as a Christian caregiver, consider Stephen Ministry.

Feel the Warmth Sometimes it takes more than a parka or a blanket to keep another person warm. Sometimes it takes the presence of a caring Christian friend. Stephen Ministers share the warmth of God's love with those who need it most: the lonely, the depressed, the grieving. Is God calling you to reach out to those who are hurting?

Break Out! Sometimes it's comfortable to do things the same old way: buy the same brand of breakfast cereal every week, drink from a favorite coffee mug every day, snuggle into that old sweater that's a little too small. But sometimes it's good to stretch into something new. Stephen Ministry may be where God is calling you to
S - T - R - E - T - C - H.

Stephen Ministry is our congregation's one-to-one caregiving ministry. A training class will be starting this fall.
