Together We Give and Serve
Each week in worship we project a Bible verse while the offering is being received.
Last Sunday's Verse for Reflection:
Jacob solemnly promised God,
"If you go with me and watch over me as I travel, and if you give me food and clothes and bring me safely home again, you will be my God. This rock will be your house, and I will give back to you a tenth of everything you give me."

Stephen Ministry Training Class
Keep our Stephen Leaders and our Stephen Minister trainees in your prayers as they near the end of the 50 hours of initial training. Here is the training topic for this week.
A Key to Quality Christian Care (Part 2)
This is the second of two sessions on Stephen Ministry Small Group Peer Supervision, in which Stephen Ministers provide support, encouragement, and accountability to one another in their ministry. Supervision ensures that Stephen Ministers provide the best care possible, yet is done in a way that keeps the identity of the care receiver and the details of his or her situation confidential.
