What is the Helping Hands Ministry?
It is an organized way to express our love for Jesus through helping the Senior Adults and Widows of our congregation with small chores, errands, etc..

How does it work?

1st : Members of the congregation who are willing to offer their help to Senior Adults and Widows should fill out the form here, indicating what type of help they can give. [note: anyone under 18 years of age who wishes to sign up must have parental permission.] Anyone can sign up, even the Senior Adults and Widows who want to offer their help to fellow church members.

2nd : A list of "Helpers" will be compiled and made available to all the Senior Adults (age 55 and over) and Widows (any age) of our congregation.

3rd : Senior Adults and Widows will initiate a call for help by: (a) lf a person is in need of transportation help, they should directly call people listed under the transportation category on the helper list and schedule to their mutual convenience. (b) lf the help needed is a small indoor or outdoor household project or chore, they will call the team Coordinator, Mary Sue Bakehorn, who will communicate with the appropriate Helping Hands team members. "Helping Hands Work Days" will then be set (schedule to be determined). Members of the Helping Hands team will go out on the designated work days and provide the needed help free of charge [note: the help requestor is responsible for the cost of the materials.]

Please pray about how God would have you use your abilities to come to the aid of the Senior Adults and Widows in our congregation through the Helping Hands Ministry! Fill out this form, and return it to church office by May 31.
