COMMUNITY CONCERNS COMMITTEE

                                             

                                                

Recent Activities

This committee was very busy the past month.  In addition to our usual monthly visits, we celebrated the birthday of Arlene Parks on Friday, September 11 and Bonnie Cline on Sunday, September 13.  Our members who participate in each facility visited are dedicated and 7 or 8 are present every month.  The residents enjoy the attention and joy we can bring them by singing some of their favorite hymns and devotion.  Some of us attended the dedication and ribbon cutting of the newest Bastrop Lost Pines Nursing home on September 17.

Norma Woehl is in our prayers and thoughts as she fell on September 19 and has a fractured hip.  We will keep in touch with A.J. and the family to offer help in any way we can.  She is always a loving, caring, dependable worker in our church, and on this committee.  May God bless her with a speedy recovery.

Community Concerns Committee Overview

God has created all of us. We are individuals loved through and by Jesus Christ, and we’re encouraged to be sensitive to nurturing human beings. 

This group, Community Concerns Ministry Committee, provides a way of accomplishing this service.  We visit Assisted Living home, Argent Court, every month on the second Sunday providing a worship service and communion.  Every month we also have the same at Silver Pines Nursing home on the second Tuesday.  On the third Thursday of every month we go to Bastrop Nursing home.  We visit residents monthly at Tower Nursing in Smithville on the second Wednesday.  This same day we visit homebound persons unable to drive, usually living alone, and have some assistance from home health agencies.

Some of our members make phone calls, deliver Upper Room, help feed residents in nursing home, send cards to in-town and out-of-town people, some who were long time residents of Bastrop and moved to be closer to families.  We also deliver meals to shut-ins.

We welcome anyone to join us for any of these activities, just a few hours per month would be rewarding to everyone.  The people we see are so grateful to know we use a few hours of our time to render a warm handshake, smile, conversation, and perhaps a hug.
