| This file contains a series of key word studies that I developed for our continuing education sessions. Our Stephen Ministers enjoyed the key word studies that are part of initial training so much that we decided to continue them during CE. For each CE unit, we choose a key word from this list and assign it to our Stephen Ministers to prepare before the session. It has enriched our CE and the spiritual lives of our Stephen Ministers. I hope it will be helpful to other Stephen Ministers as well.
