Please pray for our Stephen Ministry Trainees. This week, we are covering “Confidentiality,” a crucial part of Stephen Ministry. Everything a care receiver tells a Stephen Minister, even the identity of the care receiver, remains strictly confidential, which helps build a safe environment of trust and acceptance that God can use to bring hope and healing. Living in a time of high stress? Consider reaching out to Stephen Ministry by talking to one of the pastors or contacting us by email the Stephen Ministry Team.
