Balance. Mental and emotional steadiness; to bring into harmony or proportion; stability produced by the even distribution of objects. Every person goes through some stage of in-balance in his or her life related to any number of circumstances and events (jobs, relationships, and health to name just a few). Tuckston Stephen Ministers provide confidential, one-on-one, Christ-centered care to help individuals restore that balance. If this message speaks to you or someone you care about, contact the church office (353-1311), Karlene Lawrence (540-3163), or David Fletcher (548-5633) for more information about Stephen Ministries.
