Prayer Shawl Ministry
This national ministry combines caring for others and the ancient art of knitting into a prayerful ministry that reaches out to those in need of comfort and solace, as well as in celebration and joy. We meet just outside the Parish Nurse Office one either the second or third Sunday of every month after 10:30 a.m. worship. Watch Augustana's publications for the dates. You are invited to join us anytime.

Stephen Ministry is a system through which Augustana members are trained and organized to offer one-on-one Christian caregiving to our members and those in the larger community. Stephen Ministers listen, reflect thoughts and feelings, and care for their care receiver. The Stephen Minister walks with the care receiver through a difficult time, such as the loss of a loved one, divorce, or a challenging medical diagnosis. In this confidential relationship the two people usually meet together weekly for about an hour. This is not therapy, but a time when deep emotional or spiritual issues can be shared.
If you are in need of a Stephen Minister, please contact Malise de Bree (debree@augustanadenver.org or 303-388-4678 ext. 122) or Sheryl Stenseth (stenseth@augutanadenver.org or 303-388-4678 ext. 106), the co-leaders of this ministry.
