God's Work, Our Hands!

In Our Congregation

Home Communion Visitors
Our Home Communion visitors provide a wonderful ministry to the homebound members of our congregation.  These visitors take

the blessed elements of our Sacrament of Holy Communion to members who are not able to come to worship.  These visitors receive training and support from the pastor.  All confirmed members of our congregation are welcome to become a Holy Communion visitor. Please contact Janis Shackley, Office Manager, or Pastor Terry Larson for more information about this important ministry.

Hospital Visitors

During the course of a hospital stay, patients have a flurry of medical procedures and technical interactions done by very caring medical people.  Most patients have many caring visitors who come to wish them well and show their love.  

People in our congregation also receive spiritual care and encouragement through a dedicated group of volunteers who share scripture and prayer with them during their hospitalization.  These volunteers also take a prayer shawl symbolic of the prayers for healing covering them during their days of personal difficulty.


If you would like to be part of this caring ministry, please contact Pastor Terry Larson.
