Care Givers Ministry

 

 

Shepherd of the Hills will be helping Good Shepherd Lutheran Church with their Care Givers Ministry.  Below is an explanation of the their Ministry.  Please consider volunteering in this important ministry.

The purpose of the Caregivers Ministry is to give a "care giver" some time free from fulltime care of their loved one.  A caregiver is a person who takes care of another person (the attendee) who needs constant attention. The volunteers of this ministry will provide companionship and some entertainment for the attendees such as bingo, singing, reading, putting puzzles together etc. The volunteers may pray together for this ministry, the caregivers and the attendees.

Caregiver Ministry meets each Friday from 12:30 until 4:00pm. This is an opportunity for the caregiver of a loved one to have some free time for themselves. We are
in the need  of "Helpers" to assist the leaders during the Summer  when a  lot of the caregivers have gone up North and won't return until late Fall.  We would
like to schedule you during  the month of June to come and observe and get a feel if this is something you  would care to Help with. July, August  and September will be the months we will need the most help.

We pray for God to grow the ministry in His will; that He would bless the volunteers, caregivers, and the attendees; and that He would always be there to protect them.

If you are interested in this Ministry, please sign up on the volunteer sheet in the narthex.

Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is located n Hwy. 486 opposite Citrus Hills Boulevard in Hernando.
