CARE MINISTRY | Care Notes
The Member Care team at BUMC has obtained printed Care Notes for those
in need of support. These little pamphlets, located on a rack by the Prayer
Request table just to the right of The Well and the Welcome table, give some
advice, ideas and support. Feel free to take them as you need or if you know of
anyone who may benefit from one.
Member Care is still in need of more Volunteers for the Tea parties. Tea parties
are held the 3rd Tuesday of the month. You meet at the church at 1:00 p.m, a
basket of tea bags, cookies, etc will be ready for you and a partner to go and
pay a visit to someone that would like a visit. You can join us on these visits as
you are available. Please call the church office or contact Elaine Anderson,
(847) 921-5356 or rneaa@comcast.net for more information.
Card Angels, Care Cards and Tea Parties
Hand-written notes can mean so much. In this hurried culture of text and email
communication, it is such a special feeling to receive a personal hand-written note
sent through the mail. Our BUMC Member Care team sends personalized notes every
month to those among us needing a word of encouragement and care.
Below are just a few notes of appreciation.
Traveling Tea Parties visit
those in our congregation who
cannot get out easily, bringing
fellowship and companionship
to their homes. Each group of two or three volunteers is provided with the name of
an individual and a basket with all of the supplies needed to serve tea and snack. We
would love to visit more in our congregation but we need help.
If you have some time each month and would like to help write/donate cards or
volunteer to make a Traveling Tea Party visit, please contact Elaine Anderson,
(847) 921-5356 or rneaa@comcast.net.
