HOMEBOUND MINISTRY

Presently, we are visiting three members of the congregation. As the ministry expands to  include visiting those temporarily at home, requires more volunteers. This ministry only   requires about an hour of your time per visit

and can be limited to your availability. We are visiting one person per month on a rotating basis. Should you be called to this ministry to bring a bright spot in someone's day as well as  bringing      self-fulfillment and rewards to your own life, please contact Pastor Jin, jkim@littlefallsumc.org; Pete,  detroit50@aol.com; Terrie, ter6668f@gmail.com. The compassion and kindness you give will be a reflection of the Christ within being brought forth and touching another's life.

 

In August we began revisiting our homebound members after having stopped due to the pandemic. They enjoyed our visits and were happy that the visits were resumed. We talk, read, work on puzzles, and pray with them. Their families appreciate our bringing the community of church back into their loved one’s lives. A need was expressed to expand the ministry to include visiting members who are temporarily homebound. This may include members who are in the hospital or recovering from surgery or illness that temporarily keeps their activities limited.

HOMELESS CARE PACKAGE

Our commitment for the outreach to fill 60 care packages from September 2022 to August 2023 has been fulfilled. In September Socks for Souls received 23 care packages. In November: NROCC received 24 care packages. In December: NROCC 20 winter care packages for the men's shelter outreach. In June: Hope One  Pic Passaic County Outreach received 23 care packages plus socks collected for Socks for Souls. Through this outreach program, we have taught our youth volunteers the rewards of hands-on charitable work, and shared fellowship with another congregation. They reached out to our community in Passaic County sharing encouragement while helping to fill a need. I would like to thank our members for their support of this outreach  and send a special thank you to the non-church members who helped to fill the care packages.
