Joys Program
A simple, easy program, but much appreciated, is to send cards to all members on their birthday, anniversary, birth, death, or illness. Cards can also be sent for special occasions graduations, publishing a book, or receiving an award. We send cards for joys shared during the Sunday service. We are beginning to collect a data base for significant birthdays (80) and anniversaries (50+) and weddings, funerals, and baby dedications done by our ministerCards are hand written and have a picture of our church on the front. We hope to have special cards printed with the logo of the Pastoral Care Team within the year. We currently send out 3-4 cards a week, but we clearly could do a lot more.
This work is made possible by the generosity of individual donors and congregations. Please consider making a donation today.
