The Hearts and Hands Ministry seeks to embody the love and compassion of Jesus by using our voices, eyes, hands and feet to support, comfort and care for our United Parish family during times of celebration and joy, sickness and healing, grief and loss. We are an active and diverse group of volunteer caregivers who:
- Celebrate special milestones in the lives of our members by sending cards and delivering gift bags;
- Care for our members who are coping with illness or related needs by visiting or telephoning, providing transportation to medical appointments, preparing and delivering meals, writing notes; delivering healing gift bags; knitting prayer shawls;
- Comfort our members who are bereaved by sending cards, assisting with transportation; visiting and calling;
- Gather in small groups to make items to include in gift bags (prayer shawls, mittens, baby blankets) or food, and participate in special projects to help United Parish members.
We welcome and encourage you to explore the variety of volunteer opportunities offered through this ministry.
