We are excited to announce our first Care Companion training event hosted by our recently-trained Synod Care Companion Network leadership team. This two-day training event will equip lay leaders to gain listening and pastoral visitation skills through the BeFriender Ministry model of training.

You do not need to have prior experience to apply to be a Care Companion, but you do need to be willing to commit time to attend the training and participate in monthly and/or quarterly group gatherings as well as being committed to learning, listening, collaborating, and sharing with others,

These trainings are facilitated by local leaders and underwritten by a grant from the Siebert Lutheran Foundation, so registration is only $25 per person.

Note: You must apply through the synod’s application process to be selected to participate and you must be able to attend both days.

March 29 and Saturday, April 4 from 8:30am to 5:00pm at the synod office.
