PONDER THIS:
When our theology, our Christian theology, moves beyond describing our own experience of God to prescribing what God may or may not do or be or become, then we have created a God in our own image, a God who is far too small for this very complex world. -Br. Curtis Almquist |

Stephen Ministry - "Why Lay Ministry?"
Stephen Ministry is based on the idea that all Christians are ministers. The responsibility of passing on God's love for people is not just for a chosen few, but also for all Christians who have been chosen to be God's children. Likewise, the joy of helping others is the privilege of all Christians, those who have been given power by the Holy Spirit for doing ministry. Do you feel a calling to assume the responsibility of effectively caring for others who are hurting? Do you desire the personal joy that comes from sharing Christ's love with people? The next training class starts on Saturday, October 13th. If you want to know more about how to become a Stephen Minister, or would like a Stephen Minister's care, please call Doris+ or Pierre-Henry+ at the church office or Libby Olton at 410-544-5807 or Jeff Hider, 410-987-1135. |
