Stephen Ministry Training Class
 Here is what our Stephen Ministers are learning this week. Please continue to keep our Stephen Ministers and Stephen Leaders in your prayers.
Assertiveness: Relating Gently and Firmly (Part 1)
Assertiveness has gained a bad name for itself in some circles of the church. It has been taken to mean "getting my own way," which is erroneous. In fact, assertiveness is about relating to others gently and firmly. This is the first of two sessions on this topic as Stephen Ministers discuss and apply the principles they read about in the book Speaking the Truth in Love: How to Be an Assertive Christian, which uses Jesus as the model for assertive behavior.
