What is the purpose of the Caring Ministry Network?
To share the Good News of God’s love and compassion through face-to-face visits
CMN visits reassure people who cannot get to the church building that they are important and help keep them connected to the congregation. Volunteers share about what is happening at SUMC with the help of bulletins and videos. The Caring Ministry Network identifies our congregation to the wider community as a place where people’s needs are taken seriously.
Buzz Wheeler, Minister of Congregational care and outreach, provides training and the group provides ongoing support.
How much of a commitment is volunteering with the Caring Ministry Network?
Where and how do volunteers serve?
- Drop off CD/DVDs to private homes and retirement facilities.
- Send greeting cards with get-well wishes, for birthdays, holidays, and other special celebrations.
- Visit people unwilling absent from church, in private homes, in rehab facilities, in retirement communities.
- Help out with occasional rides when regular support network cannot meet needs.
