Homebound Ministries
We reach out to our members who can no longer attend church because of declining health. Through our Homebound Ministries, volunteers visit Insiders about once a month and make a phone call weekly, if possible. Because situations and locations change frequently, we always need new volunteers. Please contact Dr. Bill Tankersley (699.0126) if you would like to help. We try to connect visitors to someone close or at least in the same general part of the metropolitan area. We provide devotional materials to be taken and send a monthly card to our Insiders.
Prayer Ministry
Take heart and be encouraged! The Prayer Ministry is praying daily for God to bless you and every member and ministry of our congregation. Our team prays daily over the needs presented to us through the prayer request cards we receive on Sunday morning (located in the pew backs), the messages left on the 24-hour prayer phone line (918.699.0158), and forwarded to us from Sunday School class prayer chains. We welcome additional prayers at any time. Let us know what's weighing on your heart.
Telephone Team
We attempt to make follow-up calls to those who have recently gone home from a hospitalization, who are experiencing a long recuperation, who are recently bereaved, and occasionally those who we have not seen in church for a long time.
Note Writers
A few dedicated care team members write notes of comfort and support to the bereaved reminding them of our love and prayers.
Cancer Care
From keeping current literature in the church library to providing support and help to cancer survivors and their families as individual situations dictate, the Cancer Care Team will try to add to the caring efforts of Sunday School classes and other relational groups caring for those going through treatments.
