When was the last time someone really listened to you?  We’re talking about that non-distracted, full-attention kind of listening.  That’s one of the ways our Stephen Ministry cares for others.

Stephen Ministers work alongside our pastors to care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support to people who are going through a difficult time.  The ministry is a wonderful opportunity to grow in faith, develop stronger relational skills, and bring Christ’s love into the lives of hurting people.  If you have gifts for caring, encouragement, and listening, please begin to prayerfully consider whether you might want to be part of this one-to-one caring ministry.

Stephen Ministers meet regularly with another person to provide care. They also meet with other Stephen Ministers to support and encourage one another. Stephen Leaders provide training and supervision. When Stephen Leaders and Stephen Ministers work together, God accomplishes wonderful things!

Are you unemployed or underemployed? Are you having difficulty getting companies to respond to your resume? Or are you getting the interview but not an offer? If so, you are not alone.

There are over 10.5 million people unemployed in our country and nearly 35,000 just in this surrounding area; maybe competing for the job they want.  National surveys report that only 30% are in a rewarding job, meaning 70% looking elsewhere as they continue to receive a paycheck; adding just over another 340,000 more people in competition for jobs.

In the KnoxWorx Ministry Career Search Workshop, we’ll teach you what most employers are looking for in a resume and why they ask the questions they do.  Go to www.knoxworx.org and sign up for the next KnoxWorx class. 86.4 % of the people who have learned from these principles find work in less than 140 days.

This is not your father’s way of finding a job,  it’s thinking outside the box.  It’s NOT easy but effective.  So think about what you may be doing and answer the question;  “How’s that working for you?”

Classes will be held on Monday evening March 2nd & 9th; 6:00 pm to 9:00 pm at 1st Baptist of Concord.  The cost is only $58 to help pay for the materials.

Further questions, email Don Truza @[email protected] or call @ 865-693-3193.

KnoxWorx is a partnership of churches, businesses, and individuals working in cooperation to create hope in our community through an innovative approach of providing lasting solutions to the challenges in today’s workplace.
