Congregational Care Ministries

Congregational Care Ministry Team – The members and staff of Unity Presbyterian Church are committed to providing love, care, and support to each other as we minister to those in need. This team works to coordinate member-to-member care within the church.

Bereavement Guild – The guild provides compassionate hospitality to families who have experienced a death. This group assists with set up, serving, and cleanup of either the receiving of friends or a family meal due to the death of a church family member.

Card/Note Ministry – This group writes notes to church members who are ill, bereaved or have other concerns, to let them know that their church family is thinking of them. Birthday cards are sent to members who are celebrating their 80th (or over) birthday. The notes and cards are in the church office for your use in this ministry. Volunteers will receive a letter of instruction and will be given a schedule for writing notes or cards.

Food Team – This is a 5 or 6 person team that provides a meal when there is a need within our church family, usually due to a death or illness in the family. Meals are also provided for families of newborns.

Grief Remembrance Team – This group offers condolences and support for Unity members after the death of a family member. We send sympathy cards, a follow-up card on the year anniversary and holiday cards. Volunteers will receive a letter of instruction and will be given a schedule for writing notes or cards.

Homebound Visitation – This group calls or visits those confined to home or in an extended care facility. Volunteers visit quarterly.

Prayer Chain (Phone; Email) – Members of this team pray for others as needs arise.

Prayer Squares Team – This team knits or crochets prayer squares that are available to be shared with those in need.
