Stephen Ministry Training

Stephen Ministry Training Class this Fall

 

Your First Congregational Church Stephen Ministry Leadership Team would like to invite you to consider becoming a Stephen Minister for our Congregation. We hope to begin a new training class in October. It is approximately an eight-week course, meeting weekly at the church and concluding with Commissioning into the Stephen Ministry Team. The expected commitment is two years.

 

This listening, confidential ministry at First Congregational Church has been going strong since 1993 and is a wonderful way to serve our congregation One by One. Here is a link to the national program: https://www.stephenministries.org/stephenministry/default.cfm/917?mnb=1. We have adapted some of the teaching to the needs of our church.

 

You may ask any of us wearing blue nametags on Sunday about this program or you may email kathleenmcguinness@icloud.com. Applications will be on the Welcome Table in the Narthex on Sundays or outside the office during the week in a red folder.
