She’ll do a brief legal presentation and then answer your questions about the legal and financial concerns you face as parents. If that fits what you need right now, the zoom event will be on Tuesday, Oct. 24 at 8:00 pm. Register here for Zoom link.

Please Pray for Our Stephen Minister Trainees
Please pray for our Stephen Minister trainees as they continue to enhance their care-giving skills through “Distinctively Christian Caring,” focusing on the essentials of using their Christian faith in caring for hurting people and learning practical ways to live out the reality that “The Stephen Minister is the caregiver, and God is the Cure-giver.” For information about connecting with Stephen Ministry, speak to a Pastor or email our Team today.
