Care Visiting Team Interest Invitation

We have different gifts, according to the grace given us.  If it is serving, then serve. . . If it is to encourage, then give encouragement . . . If it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.  Romans 12:6-8

Do you have a passion for serving, encouragement and mercy?  Do you have a compassionate heart for seniors?

At Central, we value people of all stages including the aging and the isolated.  Many aging friends can struggle with purpose as they experience transitions like retirement, aging issues and health struggles.  It is also easy to forget about those who can no longer regularly join us.

But we want seniors to know that God isn’t done with them.  God hasn’t forgotten them.  We want to participate in God’s loving purposes by intentionally reaching out to the lonely and those isolated because of aging issues, illness and loss.

So, we’re developing care visiting teams at each of our sites.  Team members connect regularly with seniors in need of encouragement and prayer.  We go to homes, care facilities or hospitals.   We experience Jesus releasing those He’s gifted to bring His hope and love to the isolated.

If this opportunity interests you, please join us for the Care Visiting Team Information Seminar  on Wednesday, Sept 9 at 7 PM (at our Connor's Hill site) to discuss this possibility. All prospective team members will need to complete an application process.  We will provide teaching, resources and on the job training.

Please RSVP HERE.

Thanks so much for your interest!
Sincerely,
Tom Anderst - Pastor of Seniors

We just wanted to let you know that our men's workbee and BBQ event for this Saturday has been cancelled. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough people register for the event to make the workbee successful. Thanks for those who signed up and we totally understand that it's a tough ask in the middle of July! 

We're already looking forward to a CH men's event in early Fall and we will look at trying the workbee for another date so keep watching for an update in late August. 

Hope your summer has gone well so far,
Tomas
