We do like to have fun!

 

Congregational Care

Under Congregational Care, we have a Shepherds Committee which is responsible for outreach to our congregation. We want to stay in close contact with our shut-ins, persons who have been away due to illness or other reasons. We keep in close contact with members of our congregation to make sure they are well or just to say Hello! We also use this committee to get news out to our members about births, deaths, or other news.
When the Senior Shepherd gets news of something, they then call the members of the committee, all shepherds, who in turn call their lieutenant Shepherds, who then call their lambs. We have approximately 20 shepherds and each shepherd has a defined list of members they are to call. Each shepherd is also someone else's lamb
so no one is left out.
