Thanksgiving Service
Wednesday, November 23, 11:30 a.m.
 

This year we celebrate Thanksgiving together with preschoolers and their families. This thirty minute service will be a special way to bring our thanks to God. There will be traditional hymns, songs from the preschoolers, psalms and prayers. This is a great way to remember the reason for Thanksgiving, as well as to meet and greet some our preschoolers and their families.

Stephen Ministry Training Class

Continue to keep our Stephen Ministers and Stephen Leaders in your prayers as they reach the midpoint in the 50 hours of Stephen Minister training.

Confidentiality
Our Stephen Ministers take an in-depth look at an essential principle of quality Christian care-confidentiality. Everything a care receiver tells a Stephen Minister and even the identity of the care receiver remain strictly confidential. It is in this safe environment of trust and acceptance that God can bring hope and healing to a care receiver.
