Are you a good listener?  Are you willing to pray with a friend?  Stephen Ministers do both of these as they visit with someone in need.  We are Christian friends who help others through a crisis by using the tools we learn during training.  A new class will be starting on Monday, September 13th.  Call 458-2241 to learn more about the Stephen Ministry.
