The Health and Visitation Ministry works to support the well-being of our congregation and local community. Our team of visitors supports those who are homebound, in the hospital or in hospice care. In the winter and the spring, we also combine visits with seasonal songs and deliver freshly baked goods and fresh fruit.
We also support the health and well-being of the elderly congregation by hosting timely seminars that meet their needs. Past event topics include recognizing the signs of dementia and caring for loved ones who are affected, creating advanced directives for end-of-life care, and using music to improve memory. Other health and wellness events have focused on topics relevant to people of all ages including forgiveness, meditation and breathing techniques to reduce stress.
Finally, we support the Senior Pastor’s spiritual guidance by providing ongoing support for the elderly as they face challenges associated with aging and declining health.
