STEPHEN MINISTRY:
Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2, NRSV)
They are among us. No, we’re not talking about angels or aliens. We’re talking about individuals who care about others. As Galatians 6:2 says,” Carry each other’s burdens and so you will fulfill the law of Christ”. This is one of our congregation’s one-to-one caregiving ministries. If you know of someone who may benefit from a Stephen Minister or if you think you may benefit, contact Deb Jones at 570-233-7675.
