†READING OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURE Luke 15:17-20 (NABRE)
Unison: “Coming to his senses he thought, ‘How many of my father’s hired workers have more than
enough food to eat, but here am I, dying from hunger. I shall get up and go to my father and I shall say to
him, “Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I no longer deserve to be called your son;
treat me as you would treat one of your hired workers.”’ So he got up and went back to his father. While
he was still a long way off, his father caught sight of him, and was filled with compassion. He ran to his
son, embraced him, and kissed him.”

and community who are in need of Christian care. Following the example of Christ, we ask you to strive to be
responsive to the needs of others, to be a friend to those who are burdened under the stress of daily life, to be a
patient listener in a hurried world. We ask you to use your spiritual gifts, and your skills and talents to help
others. You are called to be God's Representatives. We ask that you open yourselves to the power of the Holy
Spirit, so that you may be channels of God's love and grace.
Are you prepared to nurture the skills you have learned and use them in service to others- to support, encourage,
build up, and comfort people in all their needs?
Stephen Ministers: Yes, with the help of God.
Leader: Are you willing to faithfully serve as Stephen Ministers at Newnan First United Methodist Church?
Stephen Ministers: Yes, with the help of God.

you pray for them, that they may be effective servants of Christ? Will you accept their ministry when you need
help, allowing them to work with you as you face struggles in your life, that you might receive support and help
from your Christian brothers and sister?
Congregation: Yes, with the help of God.
Leader: I welcome you to the Stephen Ministry of Newnan First United Methodist Church. Be confident and
