 MEALS FOR MOMS: Jennifer Grant

This ministry providing meals for members and regular attendees of Christ’s Church who are experiencing hardship, or a crisis in their life, such as accidents, death, unplanned surgeries or sudden illness. 

TIP: When preparing meals always use disposable foil pan. This helps the mom out lots by not having to worry about returning dishes.

HELPFUL MENU IDEA:  A great meal can be as simple your favorite chicken and rice casserole, with a bagged salad, whole wheat buns, fresh fruit or brownies; OR a nice hearty soup with bread.

WOMEN’S CARE TEAM: Anna Elzinga (Thursdays, 9:30 a.m.)

Caring for and encouraging women through regular visits, prayer, phone, calls and card. Visiting the sick, discouraged, widows and those who need spiritual encouragement. Our aim is to fulfill the biblical command to reach out and help others by encouraging and building up the body of Christ by showing care and compassion to women and their families.

TIP: Well written letters are like a soothing balm that lifts a persons thoughts and encourages faith in Christ. A Letter or card has the advantage in that is does not demand instant feedback. It can let the person know that are being prayed for give great comfort in knowing they are being thought of.

DISCIPLESHIP: Anna Elzinga 

Women discipling women to address gender specific virtues that are essential in maintaining godly relationships and to develop Christ like character in every part of her life. Helping new  believers grow in their knowledge of God.

Matthew 28:19-20 “go and make disciples of all nations…teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you”

FUNERAL RECEPTION SUPPORT: Anna Elzinga 

Funeral reception volunteers show compassion to the church and community by being available during funeral receptions for conversation with family members, and helping and serving during and after the reception.

TIP: When talking to people newly grieved never say “I know just how your feel” No two people are alike. No one exactly knows how another may be feeling or thinking, only God knows exactly how he/she feels. Recognize your inadequacy to fully identify, then point them to the One who does know exactly how they feel. Remind them that God cares.
