Stephen Ministry Training Class
 Continue to lift up our Stephen Ministers and Stephen Leaders in your prayers. Continue to pray for them as they learn to be more effective and more Christ-like in their caring and relating. Here is what they will cover this week.
Assertiveness: Relating Gently and Firmly (Part 2)
This is the second week our Stephen Ministers explore the topic of assertiveness, using Jesus as the model for assertive behavior. They take a look at the differences
between passive, aggressive, and assertive behavior.
Maintaining Boundaries in Caregiving
Our Stephen Ministers are learning the importance of establishing boundaries both to protect themselves from manipulation and also to guard against their own controlling impulses.
Crisis Theory and Practice: Danger versus Opportunity Our Stephen Ministers are also learning the effects of crises on people's faith. They are exploring how to help a person experiencing a crisis to move toward greater wholeness.
