We’re here for you and for each other and want you to know that.See the back of the Beam for a complete list of ways we can help you regain your balance. This might include pastoral care and counseling services or a Stephen Min-ister who will walk alongside you as a hand to hold through the challenges you face. Whether it is grief, loneliness, addiction, illness, or faith concerns, we need you to know that you’re not alone and we follow the example of Christ as we hold one an-other up in these seasons of life. Really – be in touch with us so that we can better walk with you.
