Congregational Care Ministry

The Care Team energetically supports the needs of our Church family through a compassionate response that respects the individual, gives attention to specific needs, and promotes Christ's love to our community. Here are the many ways this group cares for the congregation (members and visitors) at Stonebridge United Methodist Church.

Care Groups
Feeding Friendzies
This program provides up to three meals in a one week time frame to families or individuals with a certain need, such as after the birth of a child, during illness, injury or a death in the family. Feeding Friendzies also provides a meal either before or after funeral services.

New Member Gifts
Stonebridge Church welcomes new members of the congregation by delivering a special gift to welcome them into our church famly!

College Ministry
As our young adults venture off to school, we want them to remember their Church family at Stonebridge Church and our prayers for each of them. Through this program, personal notes are sent the first semester and a care package is sent the second semester to college students associated with our church.

Kingsley Place Bingo
The Care group coordinates an hour of bingo the first Saturday of each month for the Kingsley Place residents (next to the church). This team brings joy and excitement to the Kingsley Place residents as well as to themselves.

Staff Appreciation
We are incredibly blessed with a wonderful staff here at Stonebridge United Methodist Church. To show our support, we coordinate a special meal once a month for all staff members. Each staff member is also remembered on his/her birthday.

Miscellaneous TLC
We also provide other needs that come to our attention such as running errands, doing housework or babysitting for those going through illness or difficult situations, sending cards to let people know we care when there has been a loss or serious illness, and anything else that arises!

Many volunteers are needed to meet the needs of this great congregation. To volunteer for any of the above C.A.R.E. teams, please contact Toni Grace.
