Congregational Care Ministry
Purpose:

Congregational Care is the ministry that oversees the nurture, care, and mutual fellowship of the congregation. As a church family we meet the charge expressed in our Mission Statement to "provide a supportive, loving, and caring ministry to and with one another."

Activities and Programs:

This mission is carried out through many different programs, including:

Nurture – meals, transportation and childcare is provided for those experiencing an unexpected emergency, are disabled, or who are in a crisis situation. Referrals are made to the pastors for visitation of the sick, shut-in and grieving.

Correspondence – cards and notes are sent to remind members and friends who may be sick, shut-in or grieving, that their church family is praying for them.

Prayer chain – verbal requests and requests from forms in the pew racks are responded to through the power of corporate prayer.

Fellowship – this takes many forms, such as:

  1. Providing the organization and serving of various church dinners throughout the year.
  2. Coordinating the annual church picnic, a day of food, games and shade-sitting at Bayville Park.
  3. Organizing monthly events to bring the congregation together in a fun and caring way.
  4. Coordinating Faith in Art classes, lessons in painting given by two members of the congregation.
Support Presbyterian Men – men in the congregation who meet on Saturdays for Bible study, breakfast and much more.

Support Presbyterian Women – women in the congregation who meet monthly in small groups, or circles, to study God’s word, enjoy the camaraderie of fellow Christians, and much more. 

Support and maintain a liaison with scout troops chartered by our church.

Coordinate the making of a church-wide pictorial directory approximately every three years.

Current Projects:

The above activities and programs are ongoing. Other projects include:

Providing the congregation with small gifts at Easter, Mother's Day, and Father's Day to celebrate these special events in our church.

Planning a winter activity with food and fellowship to bring the congregation together on a cold winter evening.
