25 Years and Coun ng One of the meaningful ministries that has a profound impact on many people’s lives is our Stephen Ministry. Our Stephen Ministry currently consists of 17 highly trained Stephen Ministers who volunteer their me to provide confiden al one-to-one Chris an care to hur ng people in and around our congrega on. Stephen Ministers are individuals who come from all walks of life and are carefully and prayerfully matched with a person who has expressed a desire for their support. Stephen Ministers meet weekly to listen, care, encourage, and provide emo onal and spiritual support to the person with whom they are matched. They meet monthly for supervision and con nuing educa on. They work faithfully to fulfill the mission of the Stephen Ministries organiza on as summed up in Paul’s le er to the Ephesians: “To equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, un l all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.” (4:12-13). This week, we celebrate 25 years of Stephen Ministry here at Dunwoody United Methodist Church. Imagine that for just a moment. Imagine the number of people whose lives have found encouragement and new life through our Stephen Ministry. Imagine the many rela onships that have been established and have con nued even a er the ini al need for care has passed. As a part of the celebra on this year, the Stephen Ministry would like to invite you to join them Wednesday, May 24 at 7pm in the Asbury Room for a free program en tled, “The Challenges of Chris an Caring” by Dr. Ron Greer. Ron is an ordained United Methodist minister and the Director of the Pastoral Counseling Service at Peachtree Road UMC. He will be addressing how we effec vely take the compassion we feel for others and express it to those in need. This outstanding presenta on is relevant for everyone who seeks to embody Christ’s compassion when others are going through a difficult me. This morning, we want to take a moment and give thanks for all of our past and present Stephen Ministers and for the important ministry they have provided throughout these 25 years. To those of you who have been or are Stephen Ministers we want to say, “You have made a difference.” Blessings,
