Pray for our Stephen Minister trainees as they continue to enhance their caregiving skills during November. Throughout this month they’ll learn new skills in ministering to those experiencing grief, caring for those with mild depression, making the first caring visit, and bringing caring relationships to a close. We continue to see the Holy Spirit at work as we care for those who are hurting. “The Stephen Minister is the caregiver, and God is the Cure-giver.”
