This is how you would like us to contact you about opportunities for Caring (e.g. like the opportunities you are signing up for below). Note, we will be using our Breeze system for this, so if you select text options you will be texted details and links to Google documents.

This involves helping as part of meal trains for congregants going through any ups and downs of life. Involves either making a meal, or buying a meal (with any dietary/allergens in mind) for the congregant in need and taking it to them. May occasionally involve sitting and sharing a meal with congregants. Time commitment for this varies depending on what our congregants are going through, but generally is 1-2 meals per meal train.

This involves helping the Caring Ministry check in on congregants that could use support / community / socialization during this time of everything being virtual. The calls / check-ins are generally monthly / twice a month and you will have a set list of 1-3 members you will call / visit.  The time commitment varies depending on the length of the call or visit, but you can estimate 30-60 mins per check-in per month.

This involves giving rides to congregants who may need them to appointments, the stores, church events, etc. Time commitment for this varies depending on what our congregants are going through.

This involves writing cards to congregants once every quarter (one for each season: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter) and you will have a set number of congregants that you send cards to that rotates every quarter. You will be reimbursed for any materials you use. Time commitment for this varies depending on how many congregants are receiving cards, how many writers have signed up, and how long it generally takes you to write a card (templates will be provided but you are welcome to write whatever you would like).

This involves helping run an errand for a congregant who is unable to do so for themselves, e.g. grocery shopping, picking up or dropping off items for them, etc. Time commitment for this varies depending on what the task is, but an example of a grocery trip for a congregant could be anywhere from 1-3 hours.

This involves setting up, standing next to, and packing up the Caring card/information table during coffee hour after services. The cards will be for various congregants and available for anyone to stop by and sign (e.g. get well soon cards, congratulations cards, etc). Time commitment for this is about 1 hour on Sundays after service.
