Called to Care Ministry Training
Beginning this summer, we are moving to a new caregiving program - Called to Care. Our current Stephens Ministers will become Called to Care Ministers. Beginning on Tuesday, July 13 at 7 p.m., Rev. Ryan Murray will begin monthly training for new Called to Care Ministers from Colonial Church and other church communities. The training sessions are approximately 2 hours long on the second Tuesday of each month for 7 months on Zoom. Following completion of the Called to Care training, we will commission the new care ministers in our church community. The training will equip ministers with resources for addressing many care situations such as cancer, grief, unemployment, divorce, and much more.
