Visitation Ministry
The Visitation Ministry is an outreach that both blesses and is blessed in return!  We have a list of people who enjoy visits, prayers and encouragement, and even some who need a trip to the grocery store or to a doctor's appointment.  There is no set date or time.  Our list is updated periodically and sent to everyone who participates in visitation.  Currently, we have one man who needs another man to partner with him for visits.  Interested?  See or call Earl Flood or the office at 452-1240.

(Room colors are blue and brown.)  

Time for Tutoring!
Tuesdays, 3:15 - 5:00 PM
If the road to Heaven is paved with good works, along the way are saints on their knees working quietly, not looking for praise, but adding their good works (gemstones) to the path leading others to Heaven.  

If the Tutoring Program is to continue this year, it needs some saints to volunteer to be tutors, subs, meal providers and van drivers. Out of a congregation of 600, only four people have signed up to tutor this year, and no one has signed up to be a sub. A few are willing to provide food, and one, who is at work during this time, has given money for milk. If you have Tuesday afternoons free from October through April, please come and lay a gemstone down. What will you be doing during that time that is more important?

Please look for the little red schoolhouse in the foyer and sign up.  If you have questions, please call Sheila Vaught or talk to Karen Farris, Leslie Holland, Jack Lewis or any of our past tutors.  --Sheila Vaught
