Card & Calling Ministry – Joyce contacts members by phone, as well as through cards for special occasions, illness, etc.
Joyce helps to provide health oriented topics and speakers for some of our church group activities. She helps organize our Annual Medic Blood Drive and in the fall Joyce also offers a flu vaccine clinic for the congregation and the community.
The Parish Nurse is responsible for several collections for charity through our church, such as: soda can tops for donation to the Ronald McDonald House charity, free KAT bus tickets for the needy (available from Food City anytime you purchase a minimum of $10), and used cell phones donated to different charities. Just bring in any of these items when the church is open. There are collection tins in the front office for the can tops and bus tickets.
