Stephen Ministers are church members who have completed 40 hours of training which has prepared them to provide high-quality Christian care to individuals experiencing a crisis or challenge. These might include grief, loss of a job, hospitalization, or loneliness. They meet one-on-one with care receivers for about an hour a week as long as they are needed.
We share Stephen Ministry training with other churches. Training begins Thursday, September 30 at Evangelical Covenant Church in Hinsdale. After a Christmas break, training will continue at Grace Lutheran Church of La Grange through March 17.
Those who are interested in learning more are invited to contact Dave Johnson, Marian Lynch, or Mary Vann, who are Stephen Ministry leaders or Pastor Susan Gerow, 708-352-0730, ext. 211. Consider saying, “Yes, by the help of God”
