Bethel Blessings | Feb 17 & 18
Bethel Lutheran Church Announcements for the week…
STEPHEN MINISTRY: For some people, Valentine’s Day is a painful reminder of a broken relationship, the death of a loved one, a recent relocation, a chronic illness, or another life challenge. If you are going through a difficult time, our Stephen Ministers can bring Jesus’ love (God’s “ultimate Valentine”) back into your life. Stephen Ministers provide confidential, one-to-one Christian care. They will meet with you privately on a weekly basis to listen, support and encourage you, to pray with and for you, and to walk with you for the duration of your struggle. To find out more about Stephen Ministry and how you or someone you know could be matched with a Stephen Minster, talk with one of our Pastors. Our Stephen Ministers are ready to care for you!
