DO IT ALL IN JESUS’ NAME: Stephen Ministers
bring distinctively Christian care to those in need. They
use both words and deeds to express Christ’s care for others
– listening and comforting, calling on the training they
have received and employing the tools of faith. If this job
description fits your personal goals for ministry, consider
becoming a Stephen Minister. A new training class will
begin in mid-August. For more information contact a pastor
or Gail at 354-6959, Judy at 595-2247 or Iris at
354-2553. “A Taste of Stephen Ministry” will be presented
at the Adult Sunday School class on May 20 at 9:20 a.m. in
the dining room.
Please welcome the new prayer shawl
ministry. What: A way to combine our love of knitting and
crocheting with our love for God and serving others in our
congregation and beyond. How: We pray for a special person
as we make a shawl when done, we present that person with
the shawl and pray together. When: Wednesday, May 16, at
6:30 p.m. in the library. Please come join us, and bring
your knitting or crocheting. Questions: Barb Urban
354-8115, Brenda Rosenberg 595-3030 or dnbrosen@freeway.net,
or Shirley Kowalski 595-2447.
