Agapé...a program of care sharing!
Need a helping hand with planning and executing a wedding or baby shower? Do you know a family that needs assistance in coping with the funeral of a loved one? Are you or one of your family members hospital bound and at wit's end on how to manage for a few days after you are released? Then you have found the help page you are looking for.
Under the leadership of Jeff Justice, a deacon in charge of our Agapé Ministry, we as a congregation collectively reach out to our members who need assistance with the needs mentioned above. During a typical year this ministry group will prepare and deliver countless meals to families needing help (for example, providing temporary assistance to new mothers or other members recovering from illness). They will plan, organize and execute numerous social showers to celebrate births and weddings. When the tragedy of death strikes one of our families, they are there to comfort and ease the pain of dealing with the demands of the moment.
Putting a human face on God's love is the driving force of this group. If you would like to take an active role in the process, we encourage you to do so. Just step up the next time you hear a need announced. Your efforts will make a difference in the lives of many members and will make your day a better one.
