“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” (Psalm 46:1) It is not safe for you anymore, they say. You could stay with one of us or look for a place close by. You cannot live on your own anymore. It hurts giving up some of your independence and adjusting to new routines. Let a Stephen Minister share this difficult time with you. To find out more about Stephen Ministry, or to receive a Stephen Minister’s care, call Pastor Reichmann at 377-6610. Remember to ask permission before reporting someone else’s need.

Where Moms Connect
Next Meeting: Thursday, October 25th at 9:00 am.
Session Topic: “Does God Have a Plan for You”. We all wonder what the bigger plan is for our lives, and the story of LeAnn Thieman is an inspiration on this topic. As a nurse and young mother in the mid-1970s, LeAnn found herself someplace she had no intention of finding herself - in the middle of a war zone, rescuing babies! This session relates LeAnn’s story and helps moms consider God’s plans for their lives. Registration:
