STEPHEN MINISTERS CARE. When was the last time someone really listened?

We’re talking about that undistracted, full attention kind of listening. That’s one of the ways Stephen Ministers care for others. We need more Stephen Ministers to care for those who are making that long journey through the valley of a life crisis. Will you consider serving in this way? For more information, please contact Jon Siehl (261-1040).
