Several years ago, the Deacons at St. Mark Presbyterian Church decided giving care to our congregation was more than one person could handle. So, a committee was begun with representatives from Stephens Ministry, the Go-Getters group (older ladies going out to lunch---

The tasks of this committee include coordinating meals, assisting at funerals, sending greeting cards, delivering recorded worship services to homebound, working with St. Mark's Preparedness Team in event of a community disaster and. . . .
Coordinating luncheons, ice cream socials and social events for those who are often home-bound taking care of a loved one. These social opportunities give people a chance to network and support each other in similar situations as well as provide a respite.
Recently, we had an ice cream social with root beer floats and a sundae bar.
This was followed by Bingo---both were welcome treats this very hot summer.
