Serve – In the Church

Caregivers Ministry

Caregivers Ministry is a ministry to the church’s homebound–in and out-of-town members. We are also committed to caring for our member’s homebound family members. The care givers have a call and a commitment to caring for others. We basically commit to visiting with them once a month, keeping them in touch with the church, and sometimes providing a meal from the Comfort Kitchen. Once a month a “thinking of you” card is sent to our out-of-town care receivers.
 
This ministry enables the church to stay in touch with our congregation and to make sure no one in need is left out. Wonderful relationships have been formed between the care giver and the care receiver. The blessings go both ways.
 
If you or someone you know would benefit as a care receiver OR if you would like to join the ministry as a care giver, please fill out the form below.

Knarthex Knitters 

The Knarthex Knitters get together during REACH WEDNESDAY at 6:00pm with a common bond… knitting and crocheting with a purpose… what results are relationships formed that continue to grow and many lives are touched by the fruit of their labor. 

Join us to knit or crochet prayer shawls for our members who need the warmth and comfort of knowing that their brothers and sisters in Christ care for them, pray for them, and give them a tangible gift of that love in concern for their illness or loss of a loved one.

Prayer Group

Please join us on Thursday mornings for our weekly prayer group. We meet via Zoom at 10:00AM. All are welcome to join and pray for others with us. We go over the names on the Prayers of Concern list and we also pray for those that may not be on that list.
