Care & Services Ministries
God's Word teaches us to serve one another with the grace and love that God has graciously shown us. (Galatians 5:13). We offer a variety of services through our Care Ministry that engages us in our service to each other.
The Grief & Bereavement Ministry supports the church by providing caring consolation, spiritual support, and meeting practical needs to those who are experiencing the loss of a loved one. Care includes:
The Homereach Care Ministry supports the church by providing regular assistance to those who are homebound. Care includes:
Food service supports the church's busy schedule. Foodservice may vary from a formal food service to covered-dish meals. Other aspects of food service may include luncheons, fellowships, and funeral repasts.
To support the ministry of the church by welcoming and ministering to our church family and guests as we gather. Help people feel welcome on Sunday morning and be prepared for special needs that morning. We also help people find their way to classes/services. The ministry facilitates ushers for the offertory collection and the gathering of accurate and legible information about guests.
The Touch Team supports the ministry of the church by contacting members and visitors with postcards, letters, and/or phone calls.
They contact members who have missed several Sundays, send notes of encouragement, and send cards to commemorate a member’s birthday, express sympathy for a loss of a family member, joy over the birth of a baby, or prayer for illness.
The Prayer Team prays for our church ministries, our staff, our church family, and for people throughout our town, state, nation, and the world -- ANYONE in need of prayer.
If you are in need of prayer, please let us know. The prayer room provides a 24-hour answering service for individual/situational prayers. Our prayer team will be praying for your requests immediately. Additionally, the Prayer team offers a Sunday morning Prayer Time at 8:15 am in the Prayer Room (just across the hall from Room 126). Feel free to join at any time. Please note that ALL prayer requests are confidential.
Prayer Request Process
Once the prayer request is received, a prayer team member begins praying for that individual or situation. Prayer-Grams are sent and follow-up calls are made to encourage the petitioner and/or the person in need of prayer. These contacts are documented to show prayer team activity. The prayer team member who receives the report that a prayer request has been answered notes that on the card and rejoices! Answered prayers are a tremendous motivation for continued prayer, and there is nothing quite as exciting as seeing God at work.
The Widows/Widowers ministry provides care, support, and assistance with the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of our widows and widowers. Care includes:
