Caring Committee

Once again this summer some members of the Caring Committee have agreed to be on call if a member of our church family has a special need.  We can provide a ride to a doctor’s appointment, some food in an emergency, a friendly visit or just a phone call to say hello.  Give one of us a call if you need us.  We’ll be glad to help.
