Would you like to be part of a ministry that gives people care and support when they need it most – while making a difference in your own life? Consider becoming a Stephen Minister!

Stephen Minsters are members of our congregation who provide one-to-one caring ministry to people experiencing grief, divorce, job loss, hospitalization, and many other life difficulties.

As a Stephen Minister, you will be equipped to provide a very high level of care. After your training, our Stephen Leader will match you with someone in need of care – men are matched with men, women with women. You’ll meet with that person once a week to listen, care, pray, encourage, and reflect Christ’s presence in his or her life. Stephen Ministry is life-changing for both the care receiver and the Stephen Minister. As a bonus, your Stephen Minister skills can enhance relationships in other areas of your life as well.

To learn more about becoming a Stephen Minister come by the table in the Café on February 12, 19, or 26.  You can also contact Nancy Riley, Stephen Leader, at 860-250-5946 or nancyrileynb@gmail.com. The deadline to sign up is Monday, February 27th.

Training will start Tuesday March 14, 6:30 – 8:30 PM at Wellspring Church and run through June.
