Membership Care Vision Statement

Fellowship |
| |
|
Our purpose is to
provide an informal setting where people can
participate in a social activity such as a
play, picnic, sporting event, game night etc.
Here as we get to know one another better, we
can be a support for each other, sharing our
sorrows as well as our joys. Our lives are
enriched by our interactions with others.

Prayer Shawl Ministry |
| |
|
|
We
gather each month in the church parlor to knit,
pray and discuss possible recipients of our
shawls. Shawls were given to an elderly woman
with serious health issues, a child who lost a
parent, two persons battling cancer and a woman
who is heavily burdened.
When a shawl is complete, we pass
it around so that each knitter can
hold it and pray for the person who will receive
it. When a shawl is presented to someone, it
includes a prayer and a card stating it was made
by Faith Church Prayer Shawl Ministry.
At this time, we
have about fourteen dedicated knitters and have
completed about fifteen shawls. If you crochet,
you are welcome to join us. Patterns are
available.
You can also help through
prayers and donations. Both are needed and would
be greatly appreciated. Ten to fifteen dollars
will buy enough yarn to make a shawl, but any
amount will be welcome.

Hospitality Teams |
| |
|
We provide food
for those who need a meal; for someone coming
home from the hospital, or someone who is
housebound and needs a little extra help.
These meals are provided on a short term basis
until the person can get back on their feet or
to provide a little relief for the care giver.
Food is also
provided following the funeral of memorial
service of a loved one if the family requests
this service. We hope to provide not only
food, but moral support and love with helping
hands during difficult times.
My command is
this: Love one another as I have loved you.
John 15:12

Prayer
Ministry |

Purpose of the
Prayer Task Group is to nurture the total
prayer life of Faith Church. To coordinate
the various prayer groups in existence and to
work with the staff and ministry areas to
determine prayer needs.
To help people
understand the importance and power of prayer;
to have an active faith and personal prayer
life; to have the desire to intercede on the
behalf of others through prayer; to experience
the power of prayer personally and to learn
more about prayer.
Volunteers are
always needed and welcomed.

always; pray continually; give thanks in all
circumstances, for this is God’s will for you
in Christ Jesus.” 1

Social
Events |

|
We are charged
with organizing three or four church wide
social/fellowship events for friends, families
and church members to participate in. Our
goals are to encourage our church family to
have fun together, to get to know one another
better and care for each other as the family
of Faith.
