If you know of a church member who has been admitted to the hospital, please call the church office (preferably a family member) to let us know. Don’t assume that we’ve already heard about it. Because if you don’t call, there’s a good chance we haven’t. We want to ensure that our hospitalized church members or at home members receive regular visits while they are ill, and your calls are the only way we can make that happen. Please help us in the office as we all try to better look out and care for one another. | |
