CARING

Our caring ministry includes prayer, visiting, home communion, thinking-of-you cards, CareNotes, and seasonal gift baskets to our homebound members.

Prayer – The Good Shepherd List draws together all the members of Deer Creek Harmony in a network for prayer and attention. Elders are linked with members of the congregation and pray for them regularly, learn to know “their” parishioners by name, and communicate timely news should the need arise. Members may also contact these elders should a need arise in their own lives or the lives of people they love.

The Intercessor List – The congregation offers prayers as requested for our members and friends. We print the list in the weekly bulletin and keep contact with those who are lifted up in prayer.

Visiting and Home Communion – As an extension of the Lord’s Supper served to our congregation, communion is taken to our homebound members and regular visits are made.

Hands of the Healer – Helps fill a variety of needs of members on a one-time, short-term, or long-term basis. Includes soup- and casserole-making and delivery, help with shopping, and help with special receptions (memorial, anniversaries, birthdays, etc.).

CareNotes – CareNotes are pamphlets offering encouragement and advice on topics such as grief, depression, anger, dealing with serious illness. These notes are available at the rear of the sanctuary

Thinking-of-You Cards and Seasonal Baskets – We remember our church family with personal cards on birthdays, anniversaries, graduation, etc. and gift baskets for homebound members at the holidays.

FELLOWSHIP

We enjoy being together, and if the occasion involves food and laughter – so much the better! Covered dish luncheons, coffee hours after Sunday worship, and seasonal festivities are all part of our life together.

Coffee Hours – The last Sunday of each month includes a coffee and snack get-together following worship.
