Care Team
Established in 2003, the Care Team is a “Faith In Action” ministry designed to serve the short-term needs of the congregation and community. Volunteers choose where and when they would like to serve in the following categories: “Loaves and Fishes” (meal preparation and delivery), transportation (including doctor and physical therapy appointments), Visitation and caregiver respite, light Home and yard maintenance and Samaritan House Thursday dinners. The idea is to do “what you can, when you can” so service is a shared joy and not a burden on anyone.
Congregation members are encouraged to serve in as many areas as they are able. Sign-ups for service may be made by contacting any Care Team member listed on the Leadership Roster.
Additionally, Care Team manages outreach ministry and support to the following community organizations; if you are interested in volunteering, contact may be made directly by phoning the numbers listed below:
