Individuals or families in need of pastoral care may contact the church at 925-837-4993. Please ask for either The Rev. Steven Strane (ext. 14), or the Rev. Kathleen Trapani (ext. 13). STEPHEN MINISTRY Stephen Ministers are trained lay members of the congregation who provide caring companionship, support and a listening heart to someone in the midst of a difficult time. This can involve anything from grief to life transition to illness to stress. There is no concern that is too small for the comfort and care of a Stephen Minister. If you or someone you know might benefit from the listening ears and caring heart of a Stephen Minister, please contact one of the clergy. All referrals and Stephen Ministry relationships are confidential. PRAYER SUPPORT An important element of our life in Christian community is our prayer with and for one another. Those wishing prayer for themselves or a loved one may place that name on the Prayer List by calling the parish office. Those names are published in the weekly worship bulletin, and remain on the list for a period of thirty days. Private intercessory prayer is available through the Intercessory Prayer Chain. These prayer requests may be called into the parish office or made in writing using the request form in the entrance of the Church.
