Care Ministries

Did you notice the yellow cards in your pew? These cards are one of our primary methods of generating “information flow” for our congregation’s J.O.B.S. Ministry. Please feel free to take this with you and share the J.O.B.S. Ministry with your friends and neighbors who have experienced unemployment, who need help finding a job, OR who might know of jobs available in our area.

The Stephen Ministry continues to serve congregants and the community by providing Christian care to those experiencing life challenges. As a church ministry, the Stephen Ministry belongs to each of us and as a result can be utilized by us as individuals. The Stephen Ministry, as well as the other church ministries, can act as special tools utilized as an available resource in your service to others. In the same way you would request prayer for a friend in need, the Stephen Ministry may be available to a friend that needs a listening ear. The Stephen Ministry is not solely for Stephen Ministers to provide Christian care. The Stephen Ministry is a servant resource for you to access for a friend with a crisis.

Stephen Ministry offers to those who are hurting or in crisis Christian love and confidential care and support through regular one-to-one visits of a trained and supervised lay caregiver. Visit www.cookevillefumc.org/stephen for more information. If you have a request or a referral, please contact the Church Office at (931) 526-2177, minister or call the Referral Coordinator, John Lee, at (931) 526-8840.

FUMC Prayer List.

Prayer Chain: Prayer chain participants pray for requests that are received through the church office. These requests go out weekly or on an emergency basis. Prayer team members make a one year commitment. Each Sunday attendees may fill out the prayer request form on the tear-off strip of the bulletin and place it in the offering plate. Requests may be designated as confidential (for pastors only) or to be shared with our Prayer Chain.
