Touching Lives through Stephen Ministry Stephen Ministers Fun Night! Recently twelve Stephen Ministers gathered for a “getting to know you” evening full of laughter and opportunity to become better acquainted. Although the Stephen Ministers of Ingomar Church meet once a month for continuing education, we don’t often take time for fellowship and socializing. Our Fun Night provided a wonderful much-needed opportunity. We rejoiced, prayed, played games, feasted (of course when Methodists gather, food is an important ingredient!). It was amazing to learn little tidbits like: who has inadvertently worn unmatched shoes; who has eaten a dog biscuit; and who has had a pet tarantula. Don’t ask! What happened in the café stays in the café! We are blessed to have a group of dedicated Christians willing to share their talents and love with anyone who asks. Our Fourth Class A new Stephen Minister class is scheduled to begin in January 2015. These inspiring sessions are some of the best we have experienced and we urge you to join us.
