Bethany’s Caring Community committee provides services that let our
congregation members and friends know they are valued. We have “care teams”
that are ready to respond to specific needs and requests from our congregation.
Care Teams:
Meal Team-Make a meal for special need-new baby, death, illness…
Respite Team-Help for the caregiver-a chance for the caregiver to get away for a short period of time.
Household Help-Yard work, light repairs
Grief-Follow-up companions-letters are sent out to a family member on the one-year anniversary of a death.
Card Writing -To write and send out cards to homebound people and people in need. Cards are sent out weekly.
Hauling and Moving-Trucks to help and move items and people to help with moving.
Homebound Communion-Volunteers visit and bring communion to homes, assisted living facilities or nursing homes. This is for members when temporary or permanent limitations prevent them from attending worship services.
Reaching Out Funeral Luncheons-Organizes and serves funeral luncheons.
Prayer Ministry-Prayer requests are emailed to Bethany’s prayer warriors.
Prayer Shawls-Hand knit shawls are given to injured, sick, grieving and those in need of comfort. Knitters are always needed.
The Caring Community coordinators have done the work to put the list and teams together.
Bethany members-we need your eyes and ears open to let us know who could use our help. Please let our Pastor or staff know who could use our help and we will make the connections and put a team into action.
If you are interested in joining the Bethany Caring Community Team or
would like to help with one of the individual teams listed above,
reach out to the committee chair, Gail Weber.
