Get involved

by Bill Symonds, Stephen Ministry leader

This Sunday, January 11, please stop by the table in the breezeway leading to the sanctuary. You can learn about Stephen Ministry at Saint Philip’s and how to get involved.  

Stephen Ministry is recruiting people interested in joining the next training class, which will start in February. An information session for everyone interested will be held from 10:00am-11:00am on Saturday, January 31, in Saint Anne’s Center.

Over the last three years, 21 parishioners have been trained to serve as Stephen Ministers. They listen to people facing a life challenge or crisis, such as the death of a spouse, serious illness, unemployment, etc. Saint Philip’s Stephen Ministers have found this ministry deepens their own faith as much as it helps those in crisis.

If you know of anyone you think would welcome the care of a Stephen Minister, please stop by the table. All of our care is provided in complete confidentiality.

For more information, please feel free to contact Stephen Ministry leaders Bill Symonds (wcsymonds@gmail.com) or Deacon Anne Strong (revRanne@gmail.com)
