Member Support Network
One of the main goals of this group is to connect those in need with those who might be able to help. Toward that end, the MSN wishes to remind anyone who is going through some difficult times that a very valuable service has existed in FCC for several years - Stephen Ministry. If you, or someone you know, would like to have a trained, caring, lay person (your Stephen Minister) to talk to confidentially during a time of crisis, transition, or difficulty, please contact one of our Stephen Leaders.
Visit the Stephan Ministry page for more details
