Meet Our Stephen Ministers

On October 15, 2006, we blessed the following people at our two Sunday worship services: Gail Banigan, Larry Brown, Joanne Burns, Michel Cornier, Levora D’Acosta, Josie Davies, Parry Grogan, Twee Haffner, Kathy Johnston, Ginger Malachuk, Joan Lister, Dorie Pease, Johnny Potts, Nancy Pullins, Diane Schaub and Pat Stewart.  It was a “red letter day” in the life of this faith community!

 

Stephen Ministers complete 50 hours of training in pastoral care.  In addition, they attend regular supervision meetings offered twice a month (these meeting started in January 2007.)  Twelve of them meet weekly or at least regularly with their care receivers.  They have learned much during training but one thing we stress among ourselves is that Stephen Ministers are caregivers and God is the healer.  Therefore, our ministry is about listening, praying, and pointing people to God.

 

What a privilege it is to be the embodiment of God’s love and care and to minister to one another as we carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ.
