Book Study
YOU ARE INVITED TO ADULT FORMATION HOUR THIS LENT for our third encounter with
Stephen Ministry Skills all of us can use in our daily lives. Having covered some of the basics and
explored the book The Gift of Empathy,
we now go into more depth with a book by Kenneth Haugk, founder of Stephen
Ministry, called Don’t Sing Songs to a Heavy Heart: How to Relate to Those Who Are
Suffering.
- Sun, March 10 - Dean and Jane Pedersen, leading us in chapters 9 and 10, will address the things we say, helping us to examine whether they really help or not. They will also address "Pink Thinking."
- Sun, March 17 - Betsy Retallack will wrap up our examination of this book with chapters 11 and 12, exploring the creation of a safe place for one in pain, and the simple fact that we are all capable of truly helping when we truly care and give thought and prayer to the one in need.
Questions? Contact Mother Susan at 440-781-1614.
