Curtiss Street Bible Fellowship, a local church in the heart of the community, has announced the establishment of a new ministry called Care. With an initial focus on respite care for caregivers, Care aims to provide much-needed support to those who selflessly care for others. The mission of the dedicated committee behind the ministry is to offer care where it is needed most while glorifying and sharing God's hope.
Annie Heathcote (Ms. Wheelchair Wisconsin) leads the presentation on the new Care ministry at CSBF.
Drawing inspiration from Romans 12:13, which states, "Share with the Lord's people who are in need. Practice hospitality," the Care team is committed to embodying this biblical teaching in their actions. Their ultimate goal is to bridge the gap left by other existing ministries and discreetly facilitate care in the community.
The Care ministry's approach involves developing relationships and fostering a culture of care within the congregation and the community. Recognizing the challenging and often overwhelming nature of caregiving, the committee aims to create an environment where caregivers feel supported, valued, and understood. By cultivating meaningful connections, they hope to build a strong network of individuals who are willing to extend a helping hand to those in need.
The Care Committee presents their ministry for the first time to Curtiss Street Bible Fellowship attendees.
One of the key initiatives of the Care ministry is to provide respite care for caregivers. Respite care offers temporary relief to caregivers by allowing them to take a break from their responsibilities while ensuring their loved ones receive the necessary care and attention. The Care team plans to organize events and activities specifically designed to provide caregivers with the respite they need and deserve.
The Care committee has a heart for those that need care in the congregation and the community.
These community events will serve as opportunities for caregivers to relax, recharge, and connect with others who understand the unique challenges they face. By fostering a supportive network and offering a safe space for caregivers to share their experiences, the ministry aims to alleviate stress and promote overall well-being.
The Care ministry at Curtiss Street Bible Fellowship firmly believes that caring for those who care for others is an integral part of fulfilling their mission to spread God's love. By actively practicing hospitality and extending a helping hand, they hope to make a positive and lasting impact on the lives of caregivers within the community.
