HEALTH MINISTRYSENIOR ADULT MINISTRYStephen Ministers are laypeople in our church who are trained to provide one-to-one, high quality, confdential, and Christ-centered care to people experiencing a difcult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, relocation, or separation. In our congregation, we currently have 24 active Stephen Ministers, including 5 active Stephen Leaders. STEPHEN MINISTRYHealth Ministry continues to remind us of the importance of caring for ourselves for true whole health. This means taking care of our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual concerns. With reminders of best eating habits, exercise tips, mental health encouragement, and regular email devotions that relate to the various sermon series throughout the year, Health Ministries has kept us up to date with best practices. Our purpose is to make Prayer Shawls for people in our congregation who are in the midst of a difcult situation and need a touch of God’s love. If you are interested in helping, we will teach you how to knit or crochet. Please let us know if you would like to receive a prayer shawl or prayer square.PRAYER SHAWL MINISTRY
