FARRAGUT PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

 

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all

consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are

 in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God.

2 Corinthians 1:3,4   


Crisis Care

Stephen's Ministry

The Stephen Ministry is a confidential, lay-caring ministry grounded in Jesus' command to love one another. Those who are hurting receive love and support through one-to-one caring relationships. 

Could you benefit from the confidential support of a Stephen Minister, or do you know someone – perhaps a friend, coworker, or relative – who would benefit from a Stephen Minister? Are you interested in possibly becoming a Stephen Minister?  Talk with a pastor or Stephen Leader or call the church office, 966-9547. 

Our Stephen Minister Referral Coordinator is Deena Ramey.

Hospital Visitation

When the church has been notified that a member of the congregation is going into the hospital, the Stephen Minister on call will arrange to make a visit to the hospital.  If possible, they will visit with the patient. Otherwise, they will sit with the family in the waiting room. Stephen Ministers offer a hand to hold, a shoulder to lean on, and an ear to listen. 

Share the Care

There are times in our lives when situations make it challenging to perform some of the tasks that we are used to being able to do ourselves.  As a church family, we strive to help each other through these difficulties.  The Share the Care program offers such things as lifts to the doctor's office, yard care, house cleaning, etc.  for those who are temporarily unable to perform these tasks themselves.
