Stephen Ministers to be commissioned at Risen Savior

Lutheran Church of the Risen Savior is proud to announce that five new Stephen Ministers will be commissioned Saturday, April 5, and Sunday, April 6, during church services.

Those to be commissioned are Mary Hayes, Caroline Lake, Kay Cheney, Ray Hayes and Larry Cheney after receiving 50 hours of specialized training.

The Stephen series provides congregations with the structure, training, and resources to set up and administer a complete system for lay caring ministry (called Stephen Ministry) in the congregation.

In Stephen Ministry congregations, lay caregivers (called Stephen Ministers) provide one-to-one Christian care to the bereaved, hospitalized, terminally ill, separated, divorced, unemployed, relocated, and others facing a crisis or life challenge. Stephen Ministry helps pastors and congregations provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it.
