The Hands of Mercy Aging Ministry Needs You!
Do you have an hour a week to spare for those less fortunate in the new year? If you do, The Hands of Mercy Aging Ministry needs you! Every week, our volunteers visit residents of The Vistas (formerly Symphony) at the corner of Fullerton & Southport, where they administer Communion and spend time with the residents. This is truly a wonderful opportunity to make a difference in someone else's life, put a smile on their face and make their day. Please contact Kelly Smith if you can help.
