Caring Commission

If we don’t know, we can’t care

The aim of this group is to become the caring church community we need to be. There are a number of areas where someone can get involved.

The flower ministry has two different areas, namely arranging for a Sunday service, or delivering to hospital or a home of a member who needs some care.

The catering ministry is more diverse. Collections are made for food parcels which are distributed to families in need.  Meals are made, frozen and then dropped off with people following surgery or to fill a need when a spouse is in hospital or has passed away. Help is needed when shopping for these food parcels and also occasionally with the distribution of food vouchers.

Cards are sent out to people celebrating birthdays, as well as follow-up cards after baptism and confirmation. Home-made bereavement cards are also posted when someone has had a family member pass away.

Visits are made to members in hospital and phone calls after discharge to check on progress. The Minister, Bible study groups and prayer ministries like the prayer chain and prayer groups work together with the care commission to keep abreast of any needs in our community.

The Ladie’s Fellowship and Men’s Fellowship meet regularly and contribute toward different areas where they are able to help out.
