C.A.R.E. (Compassion through Action, Resources & Encouragement) Ministry is a way we put our faith to action by reaching out to those in need.  CARE Ministry is for those people who do not have a support group to help during difficult times.  Whether illness or death or transportation need, we are called to care for one another.  “A new commandment I give you, love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.  By this all will know you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Volunteer Opportunities

1.      Provide Meals:  Cook and deliver a hot meal for families who have experienced a hospital stay or have an extended illness.  By preparing a meal for a family during a difficult time, you can bless them by giving them one less thing to worry about.

2.      Weekday home and hospital visitation:  Make a difference and lift the spirit of a person who is in the hospital or unable to leave their home.  Give them the gift of your company.  This is a great way to extend the love and compassion of Jesus.

3.      Night & weekend hospital visitation:  Make a difference and lift the spirit of a person who is in the hospital or unable to leave their home.  Give them the gift of your company.  This is a great way to extend the love and compassion of Jesus.

4.      Provide transportation:  Are you available to help someone with transportation?  Can you help get someone to a doctor’s appointment or to the grocery store?  This is a simple but practical way to help someone in need.

5.      Sent notes or Cards:  Write a note to someone who is dealing with an illness, recovering or experienced the loss of a loved one.  The church will provide the cards and the postage.
