Summertime Stress Slowing You Down?
We like to think of summer as being a relaxing, enjoyable time, but hurts, struggles, crises, and problems don't take a vacation. Many times our difficulties seem even worse during the summer because everyone else seems to be enjoying life while we are feeling down. If you are experiencing a difficult time--emotionally, spiritually, or relationally--you don't have to suffer alone. Our Stephen Ministers are trained caregivers ready to listen, care for and encourage you, pray with and for you, and provide one-to-one Christian care to help you through whatever it is that you are facing. Men are matched with male Stephen Ministers and women are matched with female Stephen Ministers. It's free. It's confidential. And it will make a difference in your life! To find out more about Stephen Ministry for you or someone you know, contact Stephen Leader, Judi Arnold (judimarnold@gmail.com or 615.579.0364) or one of our FPC pastors.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Join us August 16th (and each first and third Monday) from 1-2:30 PM in the Parlor. We are always looking for people who love to knit or crochet or are excited to learn! Contact Karen Hanson (klh680@charter.net or 407-341-3944). All are welcome!
