PALS

You are not alone! Parents and family members (over the age of 18) of loved ones who struggle with addiction are invited to participate in the PAL support group to receive hope, through education and an opportunity to share and learn from others facing the same challenges. The meetings are held on Monday evenings from 7 to 8:30 PM in the library at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran.

For more information about this group and others in the surrounding Austin area and other cities, visit the website, www.palgroup.org   You are not alone!

GRIEF Support Group

The Shepherd of the Hills Care Team and Stephen Ministers invite you to gather monthly for lunch to meet and share with others who are experiencing grief. The future awaits, and your community at ShepHills will be here to support you on your grief journey. See the calendar for upcoming dates, or contact us today.

Stephen Ministry

Stephen Ministry is a confidential, one on one ministry caring for people within our congregation and beyond our walls. Stephen Ministers are not counselors or therapists; rather, they are caring Christians who are trained and supervised to offer a listening ear and steady support to those who need to be assured of God’s love during the tough times in life that may involve illness, death, divorce, loneliness, job loss, or difficult relationships, to name a few. A Stephen Minister’s only focus is caring for you, for as long as you need us. Please reach out when you are ready.
