Help us to make a joyful noise.

We will again collect Teddy Bears and other stuffed animals for distribution to nursing homes during the holiday season. Please bring your bear to church in December to sit in on the services and be prayed for by the preschoolers and congregation.
Stephen Ministries
Hope
Never give up hope. Keep alive that spark that keeps you going. Hope that they find a cure. Hope he can last that long. Hope that somehow, miraculously, they all survived. Hope you get accepted. Hope you get promoted. Hope they like your work. Hope you're not pregnant. Hope that you are. Hope, hope, hope that the computer doesn't crash before you finish your project. Hope that your daughter has listened to a word you've said. Hope that you've said at least some of the right words. Hope there's rain enough for the crops, but not too much for the rivers. Against all hope, believe in hope.
Stephen Ministers love, support, laugh, help, hope, respect, listen, forgive, serve, trust, guide, befriend, cry, encourage, believe, commit, pray and confirm.
We at MLUMC are fortunate to have a church that is a Stephen Ministry Church. "Our" Stephen Ministry is in action, and we continue to ask for your prayers as a congregation.
Should anyone know of a person in need of Stephen Ministry care, please contact Pastor Victoria at the church office, or call Joni Owen (Stephen Ministry co-coordinator) at 305-558-6897 or Karen Lurie at 954-435-6037.
Positions for Stephen Ministers are always available. You must be a Christian, a member of this congregation and willing to care for others. God will supply goodness, gifts, and grace. Stephen Leaders will supply training. Contact Karen Lurie or Joni Owen at the above phone numbers for more information and if enough individuals are interested in training for Stephen Ministry, another training class will be set up.
Thank you again for your love and prayers.
In God's amazing love,
Joni
