Congregational Care

Congregational Shepherding

Members of the Congregational Shepherding Team visit shut-ins, the elderly, and church members who have been hospitalized.

Support Groups/Pastor’s Tea

Grief support and support for care-givers are formed, by need, as indicated by members of the congregation.  Other groups may be formed as the need arises.  The pastor and a trained counselor lead these groups.

Prayer Quilt/Shawl Ministry

Making handmade quilts/shawls is an outreach ministry that combines the gift of prayer with the gift of a hand-tied quilt or handmade shawl. The purpose is to promote prayer for those facing life’s challenges.

Funeral Repass Meals

Members of our congregation who are experiencing the loss of a loved one may elect to have a meal served by our Congregational Care-Giving Team, immediately following the funeral service.

Special Events

During special events, church members come together for fellowship at special times in the life of the church, or to honor and celebrate members of our congregation.

Intercessory Prayer Team

The Prayer Team commits to praying daily for those who have requested to be uplifted in prayer.  Individuals requesting prayer may submit their request via the yellow card, which is found in the church pews, or by contacting the front office.

Harmony UMC’s Care Ministry provides compassionate caring concern through personal contact with members of the church family who have special needs for spiritual support. We are all about caring for one another as we are taught in the bible through the words of Jesus:

For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
-Galatians 5:14

All of us long for support and connections during times of joy and pain in our lives. Harmony strives to be a place of comfort and prayer for those going through day-to-day circumstances. As a community, Harmony UMC lifts up the needs of our friends and families, town, state, country and world to God to allow God to transform us and the world. When personal experiences are shared with the community of believers, we can all pray together and share the depth of connection that comes from seeking God together.
