Health Fair “For a Patient Heart”

Libby — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:26:39 +0000

Instead of the Heart Healthy Lunch we serve annually, your Health Ministries Team will host a mini health fair called “The Patient Heart and Syndrome X. Are you at risk?”
We hope to assist congregants and community members of all ages to understand and discover if they are vulnerable to this deadly syndrome and if so, what we can do about it. Join us on Sunday, February 12th between services to learn more and to be eligible for cool prizes.
It is not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it. Hans Selye

Side By Side

Libby — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:24:21 +0000

Side by Side ministry is exactly what we do. We’re a trained team of caring people who walk alongside those who are in crisis due to health, family, job, and LIFE. St. Matthew Lutheran embraces everyone’s story and strives to connect with people in the midst of their struggles and joys. Side by Side is a ministry that connects trained volunteers with those who are looking to share and find support during difficult times. A side by side volunteer is carefully matched with someone who needs and wants a listening ear. Watch for more information as this new ministry unfolds.
If you are interested in becoming a Side by Side volunteer, or if you would like to meet with a Side By Side Volunteer, please contact the Side By Side Coordinator, Joan Stewart, joan.stewart3@comcast.net or 425-226-2420.
Thoughts from a Side By Side (formerly Stephen Ministry) recipient
When I contacted SMLC’s Stephen Ministry I knew that I needed someone to talk to, but I didn’t know what a positive and profound effect it would have on my life. Having a caring person hold my hand through my darkest days gave me the strength and confidence I needed to move forward. Stephen Ministry enriched my life and is a blessing I’ll always be grateful for.
