The CARE Team
The CARE Team began in 1998 as an outreach ministry of First UMC, and is a
function of the Parish Nurse program Members of the Care Team
minister to shut-ins and the sick by sending cards, visiting, making
phone calls, and even providing meals if needed. Every Monday after the
regular meeting, members stuff Care Bears that someone has already cut
out, another person has drawn the faces on, and another person has sewn
together--all with love. These bears have gone to adults and children
alike in area hospitals, and many other places where someone needs to
feel a touch of God's love (some have gone overseas!). The Care Team
also sends "baby bundles" to parents of new babies, and have sponsored
dinners to honor church staff and the church choir. Every summer
this ministry has an Ice Cream & Cake Social which is open to not only
attendees of the church, but the community for only a free will
offering. If
you are interested in reaching out to our church and community, the CARE Team meets
every Monday at 9:00 a.m.
