we care for you

"This is how all will know that you are my disciples, 

if you have love for one another."
-John 13:35

Prayer

The prayer chain exists as a way of sharing prayer concerns and needs with our community of faith.  


When you or someone you know is in the midst of a personal struggle, physical, mental, or emotional pain – it’s helpful to know that there are people lifting your needs to God in prayer.  

If you have a prayer request, please email Dave Sauerbrey or use the bulletin tear off sheet and drop it in the offering plate.  You can also let us know if your request is to be kept confidential or added to the congregational prayer list.

deacons

Deacons are “people people”.  His or her heart goes out to those in distress: to members who have suffered loss; to neighbors in the hospital, to a friend who lost a job; to new parents who are confronted with the wonderful and challenging changes to life; to new members who need a word of welcome; to members who are shut-in and lonely; to people in the community who’ve lost their way and can no longer find God; to the economically oppressed who don’t have adequate places to live or enough to eat; to anyone who needs to experience the love of Christ in concrete ways.

Prayer Shawls

Our prayer shawl group meets to hand craft beautiful, one-of-a-kind shawls that we gift to bless others within our community. And we have lots of fun while we’re at it!

Samaritan Fund

Jesus invites all who are weary and burdened to come to Him. Because we are the body of Christ, we come alongside our church family when short-term financial assistance is needed to cover essential expenses. 

 

This means if someone in our congregation needs help with food, transportation or paying a utility bill, we’ll seek to assist up to $250 per year. Special dispensation might be made for situations requiring additional help. All requests go through Pastor Joyce and the process is confidential.

 

Our Samaritan Fund is funded through an annual special offering and individual gifts can be made to the fund at any time – just drop it in the offering plate or through the special offering page online here. Be sure to indicate “Samaritan Fund” on your check, envelope or in the memo field online. Grocery and gas gift cards are also appreciated gifts to this fund!
