In Stephen Ministry congregations, lay caregivers (called Stephen Ministers) provide one-to-one Christian care to the bereaved, hospitalized, terminally ill, separated, divorced, unemployed, relocated, and others facing a crisis or life challenge. Stephen Ministry helps pastors provide quality caring ministry for as long as people need it.  http://www.stephenministries.org  Pastor Bob is our Stephen Leader, and recently, Mary Kantor trained and graduated from the Stephen Minister Training, and was commissioned by Pastor Bob as the Church of the Resurrection Stephen Minister.
