Stephen Ministry – The Intercom, October 2019

For 30-plus years, Stephen Ministry has been an important part of the ministry we share together at Our Savior’s, providing Christian companionship and support to our members, and to those beyond our walls. Life brings with it many challenges and sometimes we just need a listening ear and a caring heart to help us through these times.

During the month of November, the focus of our sermons and worship services will be on the topic of “Loneliness,” and how we as God’s people offer support and encouragement to those who are feeling alone. Our Stephen Ministry program is one way in which we not only find support we need during difficult times like this, but also as a way of providing support to others who need us.

On November 10, you will have an opportunity all morning long to learn about Stephen Ministry—how it can benefit you, and how you can become part of the OSL Stephen Ministry Team yourself. Stop by Caring Ministries and check out information on our upcoming classes, which begin in January, and share some conversations with a few of our current Stephen Ministers. If you have been looking for a way to share your gifts with others, this may be just what you are looking for.
