People all around are experiencing life difficulties.  As a parish, we are called to reach out to them, offering the love and care of Jesus.  For this reason, we are planning to train additional parishioners to become Stephen Ministers.  Stephen Ministers devote fifty hours to training in order to provide high quality, one-to-one, confidential, Christian care to individuals.  These individuals are our Care Receivers who are struggling with situations, such as loneliness, grief, relationship issues and illness.  Stephen Ministers spend approximately an hour to an hour and a half weekly with their Care Receivers, listening, praying, supporting and encouraging them.  The duration of the relationship lasts as long as care is needed.  Becoming a Stephen Minister is a significant commitment, however the rewards are amazing!  Stephen Ministers grow spiritually and personally, while gaining relational skills in all facets of life.  Our Stephen Ministers are part of a supportive Christian community, who have the privilege of seeing the Lord’s hand in bringing hope and healing to another person.  

An Information Session will be held Sunday, January 8, from 7:00 to 8:00 PM, in the Parish Center.   For reservations, please sign the form posted at the back of church.  

(Training will be held on Monday evenings from 7:00 – 9:00 beginning January 23 and will conclude in May.  Two Saturday afternoon retreats will be included.  The schedule will be provided at the Information Session.)
