Care Ministries

Deacon Parish Care

In addition to the care offered by our pastoral staff, we provide a network of support programs through which we care with and for each other.

Prayer chain:

Contact: Jennie Richards

Members of the prayer chain participate in this activity. When a request is received, it is sent to a phone or e-mail list and prayers are offered for the person in need. Requests are made by calling directly or using the blue prayer request forms in the pews.

Care Facility Visits:

Contact: Cheri Misel

Members and friends in care facilities receive weekly visits from members of Deacon Parish Care. Teams are assigned different weeks and a small gift, plant, or treat is brought once a month. Flowers and cookies are delivered during Christmas and Easter. 

Traveling Communion:

Each month, communion is brought to nursing facilities by teams of ordained Elders and Deacons. Communion is also provided on the third Wednesday each month at Middleton Village with our Parish Associate

Meals are taken to members of our church family who need help on a short-term basis (following surgery, new mothers, death in family, etc.
