Stephen Ministry
This is a lay ministry which equips people to provide distinctively Christian one-to-one care to those experiencing all kinds of needs and circumstances, both in our church family and community. Are you interested in sharing your gifts of compassion, empathy and encouragement with others? We will be offering a Stephen Ministry training class on Wednesday nights beginning in September. Contact Carol Axford at carolaxford@comcast.net or Karen Post at kkjpost@gmail.com for more info. We’ll have information in the lobby in August, so check it out and decide if you would like to be part of this team.

If you need a Stephen Minister or want to see about getting one for a friend in need, please contact Carol Axford at carolaxford@comcast.net or Karen Post at kkjpost@gmail.com

Prayer Team
We believe in the power of prayer! The prayer team meets weekly to discuss prayer requests and to pray for these and other specific needs of our church and community. The prayer team looks for ways and opportunities to encourage both individual and corporate prayer. Call Clarice Howard at 770-486-0996 for more information or email to provpray@provumc.com For additional prayer resources click on: http://www.theupperroom.org/prayer_center/

Support Groups
Groups are formed as needs are identified and leaders come forth. We have support groups that meet weekly and monthly. Groups must meet a need in the church or community and help participants to grow in their faith journey.

Divorce Care
Providence UMC and Heritage Christian Church are excited to team up to offer fall 13-week DivorceCare class and DivorceCare for Kids for children 5 -12 years old. The classes
begin meeting in The Brick building at HCC on Wednesdays @ 6:30 pm at 2130 Redwine Road in Fayetteville. Free workbooks and childcare will be provided. If you cannot attend the fall session, plan to be at Providence for the spring session beginning in January. Most people will tell you that separation and divorce are two of the most painful and stressful experiences you'll ever face. DivorceCare can help you confront these many challenges and move toward rebuilding your life. DivorceCare for Kids has specially trained leaders to help children recover from the hurt of divorce and foster communication between the parent and child during this sad time. You don't have to go through this alone, please join us so your healing process can begin. If you are interested in signing up or just want more info, please call Barbara Hudson (678-773-4656); Charlie Penny (678-570-7775); or Wendy & Tim Peterson (678-977-1499). If you want to enroll your child in DivorceCare for Kids or want more information please contact Mike Conaway at mikeconaway@heritagechristian.org

Meals Ministry
Meals are delivered to those who have experienced a death, hospitalization, or other special need. This ministry works hand in hand with the Care Coordinators in Sunday school classes and other small groups.

Care Coordinators
Small group participation is the key for people to be cared for at the basic level. Sunday school classes and other small groups have Care Coordinators who are aware of the needs of their group members. Calls, visits, cards, and/or food are coordinated when there is a need.

Pastoral Care
Visits and counsel for those in the hospital, those who have experienced a loss, and those who are unable to be a part of our regular fellowship are an important part of our caring ministry. Please email Warren at whuddleston@provumc.com to set up an appointment.

Fellowship
Men's and women's fellowship is also available. Men's softball, volleyball & basketball, women’s faith & fitness are just a few examples of the opportunities at Providence.

Planning for groups, presentations, and events is based on what we hear from you. So please let us know your needs and interests as well as the desires God has placed in your heart to be involved in these ministries.
