Why Stephen Ministry? We have many needs for care in our congregation and community: people experiencing divorce, grief, a terminal illness, loss of a job, relocation, an empty nest, retirement, hospitalization, loneliness, and many other stresses of challenges. Often people with needs suffer silently or do not request or receive the level of care they really need. It’s impossible for a church staff to meet every single need of every single person in a congregation of 1000+ members. Stephen Ministry expands the care Redeemer Lutheran can offer by equipping and organizing members to provide Christian care. This gives us a larger pool of people with the gifts, skills, and calling to bring Christ’s love and care to those who most need it. For more information on this ministry, contact Pastor Rance Settle at (507) 289-5147.
We are a Stephen Ministry Congrega on!
I’m trying to eat a healthy diet. Is multigrain the same thing as whole grain? Which is the healthier choice?
Answer from Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D., Mayo Clinic Nutritionist Multigrain and whole grain are not interchangeable terms. Whole grain means that all parts of the grain kernel -- the bran, germ, and endosperm -- are used. In contrast, multigrain means that a food contains more than one type of grain; it doesn’t tell you whether they’re whole or refined grains, or a mix of both. Whole-grain foods are a healthy choice because they contain nutrients, fiber, and other healthy plant compounds found naturally in the grain. Look for products that list the first ingredient as “whole grain,” “whole wheat” or “whole oats.” Healthy adults should eat at least three 1-ounce equivalents of whole grains a day as part of a balanced diet.
