First, talk with your friend about the Stephen Ministry program and get his or her permission. Then, talk to or contact Pastor Robb or Eric Wentling (717) 679-5381 or Sandy Pennycoff at (717) 497-7852.
Please do not surprise your friend by referring him or her without permission.
Pastor Robb and/or Eric Wentling or Sandy Pennycoff will meet with your friend, collect information from him or her, and explain how the Stephen Ministry works. At that point, if the Stephen Ministry applies to your friend's situation, a Stephen Minister will be assigned to meet with him or her on a weekly basis. The Stephen Minister continues to provide distinctively Christian care for your friend in strict confidentiality.
