Caring Connections Caring Connection is a nurturing group that has several areas in which participants can be in ministry.
Sewing, knitting, and other needle arts skills are used to create items for distribution to shut-ins and the hospitalized. The group works to provide kits and clothing for the Midwest Distribution Center which services the US and world. The committee also oversees provisions for funeral lunches.
The many acts of caring spearheaded by this committee include making costumes for the Children's Christmas Program, knitting prayer shawls, making hand-sewn lap robes for shut-ins, blankets for babies baptized in the church, sending out birthday cards to elderly church members, providing keepsake spoons for babies, and encouraging healthy living and preventative care.
Other aspects of support cared for by Caring Connections includes overseeing the distribution of bread at worship on Sunday mornings which is used to welcome newcomers and to recognize congregants celebrating special life events.
