Seniors Care Ministry
Contacts: Roy Marshall – Minister of Pastoral Care/Senior Adults
The Care Ministry is here to assist in caring for our church family. We help with navigating health care services, in home contact and visits, in home food delivery on Wednesday evenings, retirement facility worship services each Sunday, Bible studies, and a dementia support group.
Also service opportunities exist for volunteers to visit homebound, local nursing homes, those in local hospitals, and to assist with Bible studies and worship experiences both on and off campus of our local retirement centers and nursing homes. No matter your age, if you desire to serve our homebound and/or our senior adult residents, we have a place for you.
Please contact Roy Marshall at rmarshall@woodway-clone.clevr.me. You may also call the church office at 254.772.9696

Wednesday Night Saints

Each Wednesday night during the school year, our volunteers deliver a warm meal along with hug and a prayer to 30-40 people.
