Mission Statement The Shepherding Ministry Team serves the Presbytery of Lake Michigan by facilitating opportunities for groups to develop and experience spiritual growth and support. Health & Wellness: What Your Faith Community Can Do The Shepherding Ministry Team has purchased three books for the resource center on the topic of health ministries. In addition we are hoping to facilitate a discussion on one of these books. “Health & Wellness: What Your Faith Community Can Do” by Jill Westberg McNamara is a 91 page book which discusses the importance of faith on our health and the part the faith community can play in our health and wellness. Through research and personal experience the author explores how a church can address the needs of the many people in our society who have chronic pain or illness. A copy of this book will be made available to any church that indicates they have someone who would be interested in taking part in an online discussion group. The purpose of this is to increase knowledge about this field of ministry and to help develop a network amongst those interested in health ministries. Email Paul Tomlinson,
