One Anothering

Through this program members of our congregation visit other members who may be shut in or are otherwise restricted in their ability to get out. The purpose of these regular visits is to share the care of the congregation for those being visited.

Requests for visits or to volunteer to be a One Anothering Visitor should go to Jane Summey Mullennix.
