FOOTPRINTS OF

STEPHEN MINISTRY

The beloved poem speaks to us, promising that during the times of trial, when there are only one set of footprints in the sand, Jesus is carrying us. As a Stephen Minister, walking with a person who is hurt or sad or ill, there might be three sets of footprints in the sand. One set for the one who needs to be held in love, one for the Stephen Minister walking beside them, and the footprints of Jesus walking beside both. When things are overwhelming, when you don't know hot to pray or to listen to to ask for help, a Stephen Minister can and will walk beside you, listening, caring, praying. Sharing a cup of coffee or tea, Having a tissue and a shoulder available. Our current lives are being shaken, safety concerns, jobs eliminated, food scarcity, and prices increasing. This is not a time to be alone, to walk in the sand, and not see the footprints beside you. Please, if you need to, reach out to the Stephen Ministry. Contact Pastor Brook or Susan Jackson (you may fill out the form below). And know that you are not alone.
