CONGREGATIONAL
CARE
STEPHEN
MINISTRY TRAINING UPDATE- Here is what our Stephen Ministers are
studying this week. Continue to pray for our Stephen Leaders and
Stephen Ministers as Stephen Minister training nears completion. Stephen Ministry
relationships go on until the crisis is past, the need for care is diminished
(not necessarily completely over), and the care receiver is able to cope on his
or her own. In this session our Stephen Ministers explore how to know when it
is time to bring closure to a caring relationship-and how to do so in a healthy
way.
