learned that sometimes all
a person needs is a hand
to hold and a heart to
understand".
Doesn't that sound like Stephen Ministry?
We can't cure you, but we certainly can be
there when you need us. We can listen and
not be judgmental. We can pray with you and
we can be there to support you. To learn more
about our program ple ase call a Stephen
Leader, Judy Obregon 445-5682, Don Paull
497-5597 or Juli St. Clair 416-2171 or ask any
Stephen Minster wearing a blue name badge.
