In John 21:16 Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep”. This is the command from Jesus that inspires St. Mark’s Care Giving Team.
We provide meals for those who are sick, been hospitalized, or experienced situations which make them unable to care for themselves. Our card giving program recognizes birthdays for those over 80 and sends sympathy cards to bereaved members. We also send cards from the congregation to those who can’t attend church or are going through health issues. We provide funeral receptions for members and socialization events for care givers a few times a year. 
Our meetings are held on the first Tuesday of the month at 9:00 in room 102. We have approximately 20 active members. Many of our members come to us after experiencing a situation in their lives where care giving is received and they realize that they, too, want to give to others.
In I Peter 5:2 Peter said, “Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers – not because you must but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock.”
We are grateful to serve St. Mark Presbyterian in this capacity and we can’t do it without your help.
Please let us know when there is a need and please sign the cards that are usually out at each worship service.
