BEFRIENDER MINISTRY We would love to train some new Befrienders to be a listening presence out in our community of St. John's. You would be in the company of 20+ other people who share in this wonderful ministry. We meet once a month, except during the summer, and after training is complete, you are matched with someone in the community who has expressed a need to have someone walk life's journey with them for a while.

Please consider this ministry. Call Anne Marie or Judy Quayle with questions or interest, (651) 633-8333. You will be glad you did…
