We have a number of folks that are engaged in the ministry of this congregation by Acts of Caring.
People who visit the ill and homebound, make prayer shawls to comfort those who are grieving or recovering, write care cards, and check in by phone with the homebound. We don’t want people feeling isolated and alone during difficult times. The Apostle Paul wrote, “Bear one another’s burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.”
We could use a few more men and women who would be willing to sit with and visit someone in need while their primary caregiver gets a break or runs errands.
This is a wonderful way to practice the love that Jesus calls us to – “Love one another as I have loved you,”
and one small way that you can show you care.
Let me know if you are willing. Please write me at pastorsteve[at]campbellunited[
Here are some of the areas in which we initiate and respond to care needs:
Prayer List
- By email and published each week in Sunday’s Worship Bulletin.
- We lift up those who have special needs within our congregation, community, and the wider world. We believe that prayers are healing and helpful, strengthening our community as we come together in our united prayers.
- To be added to the Prayer List email, please write to care[at]campbellunited[dot]org.
One-on-One
- Visits, phone calls, notes and spiritual care; ongoing follow-up to pastoral care and care within and beyond the congregation.
- Holy Communion, an extension of our monthly Sunday morning Communion, taken to homes of those unable to regularly attend church. This experience of Holy Communion can be a true Sacrament for the recipient as well as the giver.
- Homebound Care: A team who visits regularly with those from our congregation who have graciously accepted callers into their homes and lives, by personal visits or telephone calls. These relationships have been a strength for both callers and receivers, and is a way to include all within the love of God through the church.
- Support and consultation for the many within our community who reach out to family and friends who need meals, transportation, a listening ear, a time of comfort and prayer, a friendly visit or phone call.
Prayer Shawls 
The Prayer Shawl Ministry group meets 4th Mondays monthly to knit or crochet together and to create prayer shawls that are taken to people who
are sick or experiencing loss in their lives.

These are just a few of the many ways our Church community shows we care.
