Stephen Ministers May 2021

by Penny Brill

A friend of mine sent me a devotion that ended with this quote: "God, grant me clear vision to see You even when it is difficult because of my circumstances."

If this last year didn't provide each of us difficult circumstances, I would be

amazed!! No one's life was untouched. We missed our jobs, our church, our

family, our friends, eating out, shopping.....the list goes on.

As we are emerging (like the 17 year Cicadas) into this new, almost, post-pandemic

era, a lot of us are still struggling with letting go of the isolation we

have been living in.

You are not alone!! Stephen Ministry is here to remind you and show you God is

still among us, listening to us, supporting us. He is our hearts strongest beat and

our soul's best friend. If you need someone to walk along beside you and listen to

you about your concerns and fears, we are here to help you see the presence of

God working in your life.

Let us all rejoice in the opportunity to gather together in his name. Let none of us

struggle with life issues that are just too overwhelming. You are not alone. God is

with you and Stephen Ministry is available for you. Asking for a Stephen Minister

is the beginning of a path to wholeness.

As we step into this new frontier (May the 4th be with you) remember that God is

present and he will listen and comfort and support.

In Christ,

Penny Brill
