The Care Ministry of First United
Methodist Church encompasses several important areas, focusing
on three major aspects on a daily basis: Care Teams, Grief
Share, and VIP's and their caregivers. With generous
support from fellow staff members and the congregation we put
forth substantial time and effort to ensure that the aging of
our congregation, those with health concerns, and the entire
membership as a whole, are well attended to. We want to
ensure that no one falls through the cracks.
Contact the Church Office at 812-372-2851 for information. |

Never Too Late! |
|
Have you heard about a great service
called Never Too Late?
The mission of this organization is to bring hope and joy to
the lives of the elderly by helping to make life wishes come
true! Driving a race car, seeing an old friend from 60 years
ago, getting a new walker with wheels . . . there are many categories
of wishes and many people ready and able to turn them into realities!
Our congregation has a real heart for senior adults and their
care, so the work of Never Too Late might speak to the hearts
of many who hear of it. Folks from Columbus have already
benefited from the work of this organization.
If you know of senior adults who might have unfulfilled wishes,
feel free to contact Never Too Late at 317-823-4705. |

Care Teams |
|
Care Team is
a group of volunteers working together to offer practical, emotional,
and spiritual support to individuals and families with health
care concerns, or other special needs.
Team members simply do what they can when
they can - with an organized approach. The team
concept provides volunteers with a built-in support system, time
flexibility, and the opportunity to offer a variety of skills.
This shared support and flexibility is what makes this approach
unique.
Care Teams may provide:
- meals
- transportation
- help with yard work, mowing, etc.
|
- visit with or phone family members
- give the caregiver a much
needed respite
|
An orientation meeting is required before you may join
a Care Team.
We will form several teams from
the individuals who volunteer their gifts.
Prayerfully consider what gift you might share. You will
be blessed!
