Congregational care is the "heart" of the church. It ensures all people are receiving the nurture and care that they need whether it be shut-ins, people in physical, emotional or spiritual hardship or in need of general nurture. Some of the programs offered through Congregational Care are:
Open Doors is a group that meets to pray and break bread together, while sharing their most intimate and deeply personal joys and sorrows with one another. This is done so in a small group setting where a safe sanctuary is created and nurtured. Come, listen and speak your heart in the midst of God's spirit and fellow loving and respectable people.
Thursdays from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Call for the location.
The Food Pantry is open from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. in the Lutke Room on the last Thursday of the month. If we find we need to distribute food more frequently, we will announce this in the newsletter and in church bulletins and by posting a sign in front of the church. We will also publish suggestions in the church bulletin for replenishing food supplies as needs arise.
The Lutke Room can be accessed by the door in Fellowship Hall closest to the church. People interested in obtaining food donations will need to fill out a simple form and show identification. We need two people to register people for the pantry and two people to assemble bags of food. If you would like to help or need more information, please call Marcia Grant at 223-5489.
A healtfelt "thank you" is due all those who have so generously supported this new effort with their enthusiastic assistance and donations of food. It is greatly appreciated!
Trinity Bears is a caring ministry which began in 1998. Its
members do what a good friend would, providing emotional
support by sending cards and keeping in touch with shut-ins and
making sure that people feel welcome at church gatherings.
They also offer practical help by running errands, providing
transportation for those unable to drive and preparing meals
for those who are recovering from illness or experiencing difficult times. As it says in Galatians, we are called to "bear one another's burdens," and these are some of the ways in which we can.
Prayer Chain allows congregants to have spiritual uplifting through prayer. The Pastor receives a request from an individual or through a second party for prayers. The Pastor initiates the prayer chain and members of the chain pray in answer to the request.
L.O.S.T. (Loved Ones Serving Time) is a support group for those who have loved ones incarcerated. The group meets the third Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall.
