Stephen Ministry

Greetings to the Shiloh Baptist Church New Site family!

Ten months ago Deacon Eloise Chambers and Sister Faye Patterson traveled to

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for the Steven Ministry Leaders’ Training Conference. Since that

time, we have been very busy meeting, planning, and teaching classes related to Stephen

Ministry. After the June 10th class, we will take a well-deserved break until September

10th. As of June 10th, we will have completed nine of 20 classes. Our class of six has

worked diligently preparing to become caregivers when the needs arise. With only six

caregivers, five women and one man who will work one-on-one with same gender care

receivers, it will be quite a stretch to think that we will be able to meet the needs of our

congregation in times of grief, especially where male caregivers are needed. In fact, it

would take a miracle! With this in mind, the Holy Spirit is leading us to open up the

classes to new attendees in the fall.

This is an appeal for all, especially men, to join the Stephen Ministry Training Class when

we resume on September 10th. Although there are 20 modules, they may be taught in any

order. Therefore, we have decided to invite new trainees to join our current cohort to

complete Modules 10 through 20 together in the fall! The new cohort would then

continue their training with Modules One through Nine after the first group has

completed their classes. We will make every effort to transition the new group in order to

ensure that new trainees are not at a disadvantage by joining the group mid way. It also

gives us the opportunity to multiply the number of Stephen Ministers who are ready to

become caregivers “when,” not if, deaths occur.


Jesus calls us to be “… The salt of the earth…” and “…The light of the world…” (Matt.

5:14; Mark 9:50). What an excellent way for us to be salt and light in the world reflecting

the love of Jesus Christ through what we do for others in their times of need! We urge you

to please be prayerful about taking this opportunity to join the Stephen Minister Training

Class this fall. Applications are available on the Stephen Ministry table in the vestibule.

Please return them personally to Sisters Chambers or Patterson by August 1, 2016 in

order to complete the interview process and order materials.

Since January, Shiloh New Site’s light has reached 25 extended family members in seven

states. Of those, 14 families have been reached in Fredericksburg. Since each family

receives four letters and books over the year, this means that over 100 letters and books

will have been sent to those families during the next year. Needless to say, this is quite

an administrative undertaking. We are still appealing for a secretary to volunteer to help

with the letters and books. Effective immediately, we will be sending the Journeying

Through Grief (JTG) series only when a member of the immediate family dies. For the

purposes of this policy, immediate family is defined as a spouse, parent, grandparent,

grandparent-in-law, sibling, sibling-in-law, child, or grandchild. However, all JTG series

that were started under the previous system will be completed as scheduled.

Pictured below are members of the Stephen Ministry Training Class. As always, please

continue to keep Stephen Ministry in your prayers.


VBS “Submerged”

Shiloh Baptist Church New Site will be conducting Lifeway’s Submerged™ for Vacation

Bible School this year. This year’s VBS is all about finding truth below the surface. We

want your children to join us for the fun and excitement! We will hear Bible stories, play

games, and have delicious snacks. During VBS, kids will discover the truth that Jesus

knows all about them and loves them unconditionally. Each day kids will explore what lies

below the surface of the deep sea by creating crafts, playing fun games, enjoying tasty

snacks, singing cool songs, and learning about missions.

The expedition takes place from June 20 to June 24. Our church is eagerly waiting to

welcome your children to this free event. Submerged offers something for everyone, from

babies to adults.

Please register at www.shilohnewsite.com.

Be sure to invite friends and family to join us for this deep sea adventure!

Celebrating June Birthdays


A Graduate’s Prayer

Holy Spirit, lead me.

Let me run at Your command,

Yet be still and know that you are God

When trouble is close at hand.

Your word will be a lamp for me,

A guide to light my way,

A solid place to set my feet,

A compass when I stray.

May I live my life to praise you,

Not for fortune, nor for fame,

May everything I say and do

Bring glory to your name.

May my eyes stay fixed upon You

As I seek the way that's pure,

Tasting your love and goodness

Sleeping and rising secure.

Planted by your living streams

I'll delight in all your ways,

Hidden by your sheltering wings

With new mercies for each day.

Even in a dangerous land

When storms threaten to destroy,

At the cross I'll stand upon the rock

My strength, my hope, my Joy.

Dear Lord, show me your favor,

At all times keep me blessed,

May your face ever shine upon me,

With peace and perfect rest.

Amen
