Care Giving at First of Weatherford
Care Ministry
One of the roles of a minister is to offer compassionate counseling to those who experience loss in their lives, either through the death of a loved one, trauma in marriage or family circumstance, and any difficult life circumstances. Our church offers the opportunity to meet with the Senior Pastor and/or Associate Pastor, by appointment, for compassionate and caring counsel. Sometimes, referral is deemed necessary to either community professionally licensed Counselors or to the Stephen’s Ministers for ongoing support.
Care Home Ministries
We sing, talk, listen, hug, share our faith and God's word and have a whole lot of fun. We welcome and need new volunteers. We are also in need of someone willing to play piano for us. As summer approaches we also need volunteers who can fill in for our regular speakers occassionally on Sunday mornings at Veranda place. Our services are short and run from 10:15 until 10:35.
Stephen Ministry
Stephen Ministers Are Care-Givers, God Is the Cure-Giver
The role of a Stephen Minister is to give care. They listen, empathize, encourage, pray, and provide emotional and spiritual support on a weekly basis to hurting people for as long as the need persists. God works in and through them to bring hope and healing. If you are feeling lonely, experiencing a crisis, struggling through a difficult time, or simply find yourself stressed by everyday life, talk with our Stephen Leader Danny Hunt or one of the Pastors to learn more about Stephen Ministry. Our Stephen Ministers are ready to care for you!
