Stephen Ministry
The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He
cares for those who trust in him. Nahum 1:7
Each of us has times when we are lonely, grieving,
hurt, or in need of care. In his second letter to the
Corinthians, Paul tells us that such troubles can bring
spiritual growth to the sufferer. When we who are in Christ
suffer, we find comfort through Christ. One of the ways we
find this comfort is through fellowship with others who have
found Christs care and comfort in their sufferings. Stephen
Ministers offer this Christ-like care to those in need.
For more information, speak with any Stephen
Minister/Leader or contact Peggy Strack, 570-421-3280,
ext. 1023, in the church office.
Health Care Equipment
Walkers, crutches, canes, adult potty chairs, shower seats,
