Caring Ministries
There are many ways to stay active and involved in the community and ministry as an adult and through your older years. If you are interested in participating in any of these groups, please contact Brad Mather at 608-219-5407.
Communion at Home
On the first Sunday of each month, we celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion during worship. But perhaps you are someone who isn’t able to come to church but would still like to receive communion. Please let us know and we will arrange to have communion brought to you.
Community Worship Services
We lead devotional services at Talamore and Hyland Park during the second week of each month.
Talamore – 2nd Thursday – 11:00 am
Hyland Park – 2nd Thursday – 1:00 pm
Friendly Visitors
Are you someone who would like a friendly visitor who will call or drop by once a
month? The visits will have no set agenda but will simply be a time to share news,
stories, laughter and maybe sometimes a tear or two. If you’re interested or would like more information, call the office or email Pastor Brad at brad.mather.66@gmail.com.
Become A Friendly Visitor
If you have the time and inclination, why not consider being a Friendly Visitor. Friendly Visitors are volunteers who are assigned a homebound church member who they visit or call once a month. It’s a ministry that offers smiles, hope and the warmth of God’s love into the home of someone who will appreciate your visits in ways words can’t describe. If you’re interested or would like more information, call the office or email Pastor Brad at brad.mather.66@gmail.com.
Home Connection
In an Upper Room, on the night when he was arrested, Jesus offered the disciples a new sacrament we call Communion. He gave it to them both as a way that they could continue to experience his presence through the Holy Spirit and be reminded that faith and serve go hand-in-hand.
If you find it difficult or are unable to come to church, a dedicated and trained member of the church family is ready to bring communion to your door.
If you’re interested and/or would more information please contact either Pastor Jenny or Pastor Brad.
Meal Ministry
Yes! We still have our Meal Ministry program! We are taking a different approach in these post pandemic days. Instead of providing home-cooked meals for families, we will provide a gift card or gift certificate to an area restaurant. (Cassoulet, owned and operated by a church member, Alissa Brooks, gives us a discount on gift certificates!)
We do appreciate your help with our Meal Ministry program! If you are willing to provide a gift card or gift certificate to a local restaurant or provide a monetary gift for us to purchase a gift card or gift certificate, it would be very appreciated! The Meals are provided to families who have had someone with a hospital stay, a new baby, a death in the family, or an extended illness. Gift cards, gift certificates or monetary gifts may be sent to our church office marked “Meal Ministry”. Thank you for your consideration!
XYZ- Xtra Years of Zest
XYZ–our fellowship group for retired folks–meets every third Wednesday of each month starting in September and ending in May at 1 pm. Each meeting includes dessert and a time of learning.
