Stephen Ministry Training Available in September
Stephen Ministry is a one-to-one caregiving ministry. God works through Stephen Ministers to plant a seed of hope and healing in a person struggling with a crisis or tragedy.
What do Stephen Ministers do?
- Listen
- Pray
- Explore feelings
- Maintain confidentiality
- Attend to the caregiving process and leave the results to God
Stephen Ministers care for people who are:
- Grieving
- In a crisis
- In need of long-term care
- Dying
- Hospitalized
- Divorcing
- Experiencing losses as they age
- The family and friends of people in crisis
Stephen Ministry training will equip you to show God’s mercy, care, and compassion to another who is hurting. You will walk beside your care receiver, pray for him or her, and help him or her work through life’s difficulties.
Participants from Evergreen will join with others from Chapel in the Pines and Pittsboro United Methodist to begin training for new Stephen Ministers in September. If you are interested in becoming a Stephen Minister contact Pastor Donna or Rev. Mitzi Lesher-Thomas at lesherthomas@citppc.org or 444-1249.
