 CARE MINISTRIES |
Care Ministries
Just as Jesus Christ came "not to be ministered unto, but to minister..." we accept our responsibility to reach out in service to others. This applies both within the church family and outside our fellowship. Join us as we minister to others.
Intercessory Prayer Group meets every Tuesday at 10:00am in the Church Parlor to lift up in prayer the names of people who have special concerns (which are kept confidential). Cards in the pews are available for people to make prayer requests. Also, calls made to the church office, 440-885-2652, will be relayed to the Prayer Group. Those for whom the group prays receive a card informing them of the prayers being offered in their behalf.
Mission Guild works on various craft projects for the Church and the community. We also participate in the annual Parma-South Craft & Bake Sale. ALL women are welcomed to become a part of this group. We meet in the Dining Room from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm the 3rd Wednesday of the month from March through December. The group has lunch together after we complete our craft projects for the day. For more information, contact the Church Office at 440-885-2652 or Darlene Ells at 440-884-8271.
Parma-South Quilters make baby quilts for Friends of Mothers and Infants at MetroHealth Center. This hospital-associated organization provides layettes for low-income mothers and babies. We hope to make a dent in the 4000 quilts needed each year. Members and non-members are making 42 inch square quilt tops. The quilters meet at one of the members' homes on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 9:30 a.m. to Noon to assemble the quilts, completing these by machine quilting. For more information, contact Ruth Fay at 440-845-5522.

The class also meets on Wednesdays at 9 AM, lead by a volunteer.
