"Touching lives with love"

"It is a wonderful thing to be alive!  If a person lives to be very old, let him rejoice in every day of life."  (Ecclesiastes 11:7-8)

Purpose of the Homebound Ministry

To provide an arm from the church to minister to the spiritual needs of our homebound members.

To add quality and meaning to the life of the homebound by giving love, encouragement, and relieving anxieties.

To minister to the personal needs of our homebound members.

How We Try to Do This

Visits on a regular basis.

Birthday and anniversary parties.

Bring our homebound members to church and other places where needed.

We have one Sunday designated as 'Homebound Sunday' when we bring all homebound members who are able to church.

We have Bible studies in 3 nursing homes.

We have professional speakers on related subjects on a regular basis.

We feature a 'Homebound of the Week' in our church newsletter with their address so that other church members may be in touch with them.

We have tapes of the Sunday morning sermon for all who can enjoy them.

We take our homebound members out to lunch or for a ride if they can leave the home.
