Christians Coping With Divorce | |
This Thursday, April 25
6:30 PM in the Parlor
A guide for individuals, families, and friends. A Stephen Ministry Presentation, taught by Frank Wypychowski.
This is a one-hour interactive continuing training for Stephen Ministers: ministering to those experiencing divorce, either directly or indirectly.
We will review the role of the Stephen Minister – being a compassionate and sympatric listener, not providing advice, solutions or being a healer, all while building and maintaining trust.
For more information contact Stephen Ministry Leader, Penny Cox.

April's Series:
Odd Ones Out
All month long, we’ll walk through the truth of what it means to be set apart by God in order to reveal Him and His nature. As we uncover the truth of what it looks like to follow Jesus in our culture, we’ll see the beauty in being a light that shows the true light of the world: Jesus.
