Congregation Care Ministry

"So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith." Galatians 6:10

The mission of Congregational Care is to provide a connection to the love and care of the church for members who are homebound, hospitalized or institutionalized.

JOIN ONE OF OUR CONGREGATIONAL CARE MINISTRIES

Our Congregational Care Ministry is made of many different care teams. Each team has its own mission and purpose as stated below. If you feel called into one of these ministries or are in need of their assistance, please contact the person named below or our Congregational Care Coordinator, Carolyn Henry.

Friends by Faith

Prayer Shawl Ministry

Nancy Bewley & Dorothy Newcomb
Co-Chairs

This ministry symbolizes God's love and healing presence. This ministry includes individuals who enjoy crocheting and knitting shawls and afghans.
