Caring for Caregivers

Caregiver Outreach Ministry

Christ calls us to care for one another. It is especially important that we care for caregivers and those they are caring for.

The MVPC Care Team began in 2007 to build a supportive program for those who are facing care situations; both caregivers and those who must count on others to care for them. Both are difficult challenges.

Our goal is to encourage and nurture through fellowship, education, and a lot of laughter and hugs.

What we are NOT – we are not a support group, though we do support each other. And, we do not provide direct care for those who need assistance. We do assist caregivers in finding the help they need, and have provided to the church office a resource that gives a complete list of the many services available to families in our area.

Our Care Team is not restricted to members of MVPC. Anyone in the community who has a desire to serve by providing loving support to those facing a journey of care is invited to be part of our team.

The MVPC Care Team meets for lunch once or twice a month. On the last Wednesday of each month caregivers and care receivers from the congregation and the community join us for Tea at 2:00 p.m. in the Fireside Room

We have many exciting things planned for the coming months. If you – or someone you know – would like to be part of this caring ministry, please contact the church office.
