CARING MINISTRY HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK Pastoral Care and Counsel Are you suffering due to a death, broken relationship, illness or other deep loss? Are you struggling with feelings of guilt or shame? Do you need help forgiving someone who has harmed you? Sometimes the emotional strain or spiritual pain we experience in life is more than we can bear alone. It can trigger deep spiritual and theological questions that can cut to the core of our faith. Our pastors are available to provide spiritual care and guidance. All conversations are strictly confidential.

To schedule an appointment, contact Julie Donley: jdonley@bumc.net, 615-324-7254 Carla Barrios: cbarrios@bumc.net, 324-7252 Any of our pastors: www.bumc.net/staff.

Stephen Ministry Stephen Ministers are members of our church who are trained to provide confidential, Christian care to anyone who may be experiencing a crisis or challenge such as divorce, grief, job loss, or illness. A Stephen Minister does not solve your problems; rather he or she listens, cares, prays, and helps you find your path to healing and wholeness. If you are going through a difficult time, consider having a Stephen Minister. If you know someone who is facing difficulties, suggest that they consider a Stephen Minister.

Want to know more? Call Sheryl at 615-373-3690 ext. 394 or Rev. Allison Fasig at 616-373-3663.
