The Esther Ministry is one of the caring
ministries of our church. As a token of
love, food deliveries are made on the
occasion of illness in the home, release
from the hospital, time of grieving,
extended hospitalization of a family
member, or arrival of a new baby.
Volunteer church members cook and deliver
the food.

Lay
Care Ministers visit members of CAC who are
homebound or in assisted living and
long-term care facilities on a regular
basis, providing fellowship and outreach - a
means of keeping them "connected'' to the
church. Caregivers are matched up with care
receivers and alert the church to any
changes or additional needs that may occur. |
