CARD MAKING KITS

We are exploring starting a new ministry group of volunteers to make “Card-Making Kits” that can be delivered to residents of local assisted living and senior living facilities in our community and outside of our community. Ideally, cards are assembled by the residents in a community setting in fellowship with other residents, enabling them to have something beautiful to send as a special greeting to a friend or loved one. If you are interested in this ministry, please contact Pastor or Linda Rowell for more details.
