At First Presbyterian Church of Maitland, we take to heart our
calling to respond to the needs of one another. We offer comfort, spiritual
support, a listening ear, and care for one another through the many
ministries of our Care Committee, which include: TOUCH MINISTRY If you are going through a diagnosis
of cancer or know someone who is, please contact Hope Hasenau at
407-767-5438. You'll receive a bi-weekly card with a scripture verse and
words of encouragement. The cards are a tangible reminder that you are not
alone; God is with you always, and you are surrounded by prayer. CALLING TEAM Weekly calls are made to comfort and support
individuals who are home from the hospital or in rehab. The caller expresses
concern and prays with the person. Weekly updates are given to the church
office for distribution. Contact Brenda Jelks, (407) 834-5732, for more information. If you
are going through a diagnosis of cancer or know someone who is, please
contact me at 407-644-5801 or by email.
I want to share my ministry with you by sending a card every week with
scripture and words of encouragement. |
Care Teams: A Care Team provides a way for our
congregation to respond to the real-life needs of individuals and families.
This team is a group of trained members working together to offer practical,
emotional, and spiritual support to those in need. These needs may result
from a developmental or physical disability, a prolonged physical or mental
illness, limitations brought on by the aging process, or other life
challenging situations, or, they may be temporary, due to an accident or
episodic illness. Shepherds: Shepherds provide a
ministry of care in times of illness, bereavement, distress or special need.
They also provide the opportunity to open a two-way channel of communication
with our homebound members. Shepherds are people blessed with sensitivity,
compassion, and the ability to be a good listener. No training is necessary.
Contact with the homebound members includes phone calls, visits, and
occasional outings. This is a very important ministry, and we are always
looking for new recruits! Communion to Homebound: Elders and
Shepherds gather quarterly to serve communion to the Homebound. In addition
to their visit, they also bring news from the church and a bud vase of fresh
flowers.
