Visitation Committee ~ Our mission is to keep in contact with those members and friends who cannot attend regularly service because of physical or emotional limitations.  Our goal is to keep in monthly contact with those who find it challenging to attend worship service.

The members of this committee visit the church’s shut-ins, sick, disabled, hurt, and the lonely.  We try to make sure that they have some form of contact with the church and its ministry whether it be through a card, phone call, or a visit from a committee member monthly.  During a visit a shut-in might want to pray or just talk; it is up to them.  We want them to know that they are still part of our congregation even if they cannot come regularly.

If you would like the visitation committee to add to their list of people who need this service, or If you would like to be part of this ministry please contact Kim Gould-Sickles.
