Stephen Ministry
Comfort and support are available to you through trained lay people - your fellow church members who have had extensive training to provide emotional and spiritual support to you in your hours of need. You can call the Care Office at 404-228-7719 to request a visit or phone call from a Stephen Minister. These caring people are also available every Sunday morning following worship services. And they often help with memorial services and funerals, serving as ushers and greeters. (See Death Services).
Postpartum Support Group
Many new mothers experience some brief symptoms of what is commonly called "the blues", but for some women this condition develops into depression.

So don't put this off - call the Samaritan Counseling Center at 404-228-7777 to get the schedule for the next meeting of this group. Childcare is available.
