The Stephen Ministry training class has been postponed. There were not enough people who came forward. Stephen Ministry depends on you to meet the needs of those in our faith community who need someone to listen, to care, and to empathize as they face a challenging time in their lives. This one-on-one caring ministry responds according to the number of ministers we have available. Was someone there for you when you needed help and support? Think about returning the favor. For more information, call the Church Office, 442-3602, and a Stephen Leader will contact you. Read More »
