LEM's call on parishioners in homes, hospitals or other places of residence. This ministry is a connection between the active congregation attending church and those who are unable to attend due to physical conditions or confinement to home care and nursing homes. Those who are patient, friendly and kind to physically impaired and elderly people are what it takes for this ministry. Participation varies according to needs with a minimum of once a month. Members may visit in person or by telephone or correspond with cards and letters.
Meetings vary from luncheons to meetings in the education building or member's homes.
The rector and deacon are the mentors offering advice and training. This ministry has many facets. The amount of time of participation is up to the individual. Weekly visits could consist of two hours per visit and weekend seminars in both federal and state prisons are conducted periodically. Training is provided including an indoctrination of the facility in which one will be conducting the ministries and how to get along in the environment.
