Heart Ministry

SHORT-TERM SUPPORT IN CRISIS

The Evergreen Heart Ministry provides short-term support for Evergreen members and attenders in a crisis situation. We define a crisis as anything that happens out of someone's ordinary routine such as: illness, hospitalization, a car accident, job loss, death of a family member, etc.

If you have questions about how you can serve within the Heart Ministry, or how the Heart Ministry might be able to help you in crisis, you may contact Mary Flaten  952-440-2570 or fill out an online form for volunteering or need help.

HEART MINISTRY COMMITTEES:

Prayer

This team faithfully prays for requested concerns of our members and attenders.   All requests are confidential.

Meals

This team organizes meals for individuals or families for a determined amount of time during a crisis.

Transportation

This team provides rides during recovery of a crisis. Includes errands, doctor appointments and rides to church.

Funeral

If necessary, help is available for coordinating funeral arrangements. Contact the bereavement pastor, Mike Olmstead.

Gifts and Notes

This team sends cards to celebrate life events such as births or adoptions; sends notes of encouragement during times of grief and loss, surgery, health related issues, etc.

Visitation

This team provides a pastoral call or visit from a volunteer when requested for those who are in the hospital, on bed rest or home-bound and in need of fellowship.

Cleaning
