Care Ministry

CARE

— demonstrating God's compassion and love 

Every day, our lives are caught in the mire of human frailty: illness, death, loss, change, sudden tragedy, prolonged issues and more. Our church family offers prayer, care, comfort, counseling and spiritual support through our Care Ministry. If you or someone you know is in need, contact us.

Finding Peace in an Anxious World 

February 10 – March 3 
Wednesdays at 10 am with Pastoral Counselor Jane Myers and Debbie Watt 

Finding Peace in an Anxious World uses the book of Proverbs and “The Serenity Prayer” as a guide to help Christians find their way through anxiety, worry, and fear and move towards God’s peace that surpasses all understanding. Using “The Serenity Prayer” as a scaffold, Finding Peace in an Anxious World explores ways to discover peace through scriptural and spiritual disciplines so that we can be rooted in God and energized to live fully as disciples of Christ. Hard copy and e-books can be purchased at unitedmethodistwomen.org. Please contact Shelah Woodruff ( ) with any questions about the study or ordering books.
