CONGREGATIONAL CARE COMMITTEE

The Congregational Care Committee wants you to know they are there to help you if you ever need transportation, meals or a visitor! Please contact Kim Jackson if you or someone you know needs help or if you would like to be added to the list of volunteers.
 

Volunteers Needed for Congregational Care Team

Dear Church Family,
 
One of the most powerful ways we reflect the love of Christ is by caring for one another in times of need. Whether someone is recovering from surgery, facing a difficult season, or navigating a time of grief, small
acts of kindness—like a hot meal, a ride to an appointment, or a friendly visit—can make a world of difference.
 

We are currently building a list of volunteers who are willing to step in when needs arise. You don’t need to commit to every request—just let us know how you feel called to help:

Meal Ministry – Provide or deliver a home-cooked or store-bought meal to someone in need.

Transportation Help – Offer rides to church, appointments, or errands for those unable to drive.

Visitation Ministry – Visit homebound members or those in the hospital or care facilities to provide companionship and encouragement.

 
If you’re willing to be on our list of helpers in any of these areas, please send Kim Jackson an email  or add
your name/email to the sign-up sheet in Fellowship Hall.
 
You’ll be contacted as needs arise, with the opportunity to accept or decline depending on your schedule.
 
Let’s continue being the hands and feet of Jesus—loving one another well in both big and small ways.
 
In Christ’s love,
Your Congregational Care Team
