Hope Cares

"Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ." – Galatians 6:2

The members of Hope care about each other and reach out to those in need through ministry.

Prayer Group

The Prayer Group meets weekly to pray for the concerns of those who worship at Hope. Your request may be made by completing a prayer request card found in the pew racks in the Sanctuary or by emailing your request here. Please include your name, the name and relationship of the person(s) to be lifted up in prayer and if the need is a confidential matter you may just put the person's name.

Deacons

The work of Deacons is a ministry of sympathy, concern, and compassion to those members who have particular needs for care and understanding. Deacons provide watch-care for members who are sick, grieving, isolated by age or infirmity, and any others who are in personal distress. To fulfill this mission, each Deacon cares for a certain number of individuals and families within Hope Presbyterian Church. Deacon’s are assigned "flocks" according to the initial of your last name.

Care Ministry Teams

Care ministry teams are: Members of a team providing care focused on a particular need, such as transportation, meal preparation, hospital or homebound visitation, providing support for funeral receptions, telephone contact, etc. If you are interested in more information on how you can be the hands of Christ to someone by being on a team please click here.

Team members contribute to the team by:

• Doing what they love to do, when they are able to do it, in a coordinated effort with others;
• Care Ministry Team Leaders will always communicate with the person’s Deacon and the Pastors;
• Meeting to understand what the Team’s focus is and how it works;
• Including every team member as a part of the decision-making process;
• Ensuring good communication and coordination in the life of the team;
• Hope members should contact Pastor Fred to request Care Team assistance.
