Holy Spirit - Family
Holy Spirit is a wonderful family, and we are currently in need of more volunteers for jobs big and small. Some volunteer jobs are a major commitment like being on the vestry or being a member of the rector search committee. (More announcements about that are coming soon). We have many smaller jobs to fill, and we need a diverse, committed group of people to fill them. I am going to highlight a few of these each week to let everyone know what these jobs encompass and how you can join in. Please prayerfully consider adding at least one of these to your Christian journey.
The first two opportunities I am going to talk about are in the area of pastoral care. I want to create two teams in this area. First of all, we are planning to reactivate the Eucharistic Visitors program. This ministry fell by the wayside during the pandemic. Eucharistic Visitors take Communion to shut-ins after the service on Sunday.
The second team will be people who can visit and/or telephone people who are ill or having surgery or can't get out regularly, just to check on them and help them maintain a connection to the church.
Both of these ministries require a training session and completion of a short class called “Safeguarding God's People,” since we deal with vulnerable adults.
If you are interested in finding out more about these ministries, please contact me, Susan Bowen at Sbowen002@comcast.net.
