Life can be difficult, but you don't have to go through it alone. Stephen Ministers are trained caregivers who provide one-on-one, confidential, Christ-centered

support during life's challenges. Whether you're

experiencing grief, illness, or another hardship, a

and prayer. If you or someone you know could use a

listening ear and spiritual encouragement, contact Linda Johnson.
