Through our ministries of prayer and
care we seek to bring healing and wholeness, and to be the
presence of Christ to those who are in need.
Care Caller Ministry Team
The Care Caller Ministry Team provides a number of important care
ministries to our church family. Care Callers visit in the
hospital and to our shut-ins, provide transportation to doctor's
appointments, provide meals to families in crisis -- while a
family member is hospitalized or just returning home from the
hospital, and send out cards and letters of sympathy. Contact our
Care Caller Coordinator, Patti Lottermoser, for more information.
Prayer Force
Join the "Prayer Force." This prayer ministry team
meets Mondays at 9:15am in the worship center. Come join us for
devotions and prayer every week. If you are interested in being
part of an evening prayer team (Tuesdays or Thursdays) please
contact Marie Kloster for more information.
E-Mail Prayer Team
Our e-mail prayer team offers daily prayers for those on our
prayer list. If you'd like to be part of this important
intercessory prayer team, send your request and e-mail address to

Prayer Partner Ministry with Our
Partner Church in Bay St. Louis, MS
Many of our church members are prayer partners with members of
our partner church, Main Street UMC, in Bay St. Louis, MS. We
send cards, small gifts and keep them in our prayers as they
rebuild their community and their lives following the destruction
of Hurricane Katrina.
Parish Nurse Ministry Team
The purpose of the Parish Nurse Ministry Team is to provide
education and assistance with the health and medical needs of our
congregation. Trained and licensed nurses offer blood pressure
checks on the first Sunday of each month prior to and after the
9:30am worship service. They plan to offer seminars on a variety
of health topics. For more information contact Nancy Crabtree or
Susan Tomaszweski.
HeartSaver Volunteers
We now have over a dozen trained HeartSaver Volunteers who have
been certified in CPR and in the use of the AED (automatic
external defibrillator). HeartSaver Volunteers will be present at
worship services and other church events to provide life-saving
care in the event of a medical emergency. For
more information contact Becky Wells or Susan Tomaszewski.
Growing Seasons - Helping Children
Cope with Loss
This is a bereavement group for young children who are dealing
with the trauma of divorce or death in their families. Using
crafts and "play therapy" this program helps children
express their pain and help them through the grieving process.
