The Congregational
Care Committee serves to
supplement the spiritual and physical well-being of our church members.
The Pastoral Care Team is made up of members who make themselves
available for home visits, hospital/nursing home visits, phone call or
card ministry participation. This team works alongside our pastor in
meeting the needs of our members. The Shepherd Program puts members in
touch with other members who might be in need of support or assistance.
Care from the Shepherd Program might include welcoming new members,
visiting after the birth of a new baby, providing meals during times of
illness or distress, or simply offering a helping hand during a time of
need. Our medical loan closet makes medical equipment available to
members for ongoing use or during periods of recuperation. Our
transportation program links members in need of rides with other members
who offer their time driving people to appointments.
As a whole, the
Congregational Care committee works to meet the unique needs experienced
by our members, recognizing that we are spiritual, physical and social
beings.
The Shepherd Program
"They will answer, 'Lord, when did we
see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked and sick or in
prison, and minister to you?.' Then he will answer them, 'Truly,
truly I say to you, as you did it to the least of these, you did it
to me.'"
Medical Equipment Loan Closet
The
church has a variety of medical supplies which can be borrowed on an
as-needed basis. Most of the equipment is now stored in the closet by
Room 7. For more information, or to get a form to check out equipment,
contact the church office.
