Our congregation’s Stephen Ministry equips lay people to provide one-to-one Christian care to people in our congregation and community who are experiencing difficulties in their lives.

Stephen Ministry is a confidential ministry. The identity of those receiving care and everything they discuss with a Stephen Minister remain private.

A Stephen Minister is…

• A child of God who walks beside someone who is hurting.
• A congregation member who is carefully selected to serve in this role because of his or her caregiving gifts.
• A lay person with 50 hours of training in providing high-quality distinctively Christian care.
• A caring Christen friend who listens, cares, prays, supports and encourages.
• Someone who meets faithfully each week with his or her care receiver as long as there is a need.

Women in Fellowship Meeting

Join us on Tuesday, February 10, at 11:00 a.m. in the Parish Hall, as Susan Dominick reviews The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict. This selection is from the United Women in Faith 2026 book list.

This compelling historical novel tells the remarkable true story of Belle da Costa Greene, J.P. Morgan’s personal librarian, who curated one of the most important private book collections in America while navigating a complex double life in early 20th-century New York. Together, we will explore themes of identity, ambition, and the sacrifices made to succeed in a world of prejudice and privilege.

Lunch will follow the presentation. For reservations, call the church office at 865-524-3048. Lunch is $15.
