Eucharistic Visitor Ministry provides important service to congregation

Good Shepherd’s Eucharistic Visitor Ministry (EV) consists of volunteers licensed by the Diocese to bring the Blessed Elements to those in our flock who cannot join us for Sunday worship. The EV goes out as an extension of everyone present in the congregation that Sunday, keeping the connection of the communicant to our church community. We currently have five EV’s on our team, bringing the Eucharist to homebound recipients both on a scheduled basis and during those unfortunate events that befall us, such as illnesses, and accidents. While we are happy to pass on other needs and requests to clergy, we also respect the privacy of our recipients and their conditions. If you know of anyone who would like an EV visit, or if you are interested in volunteering for this important ministry, please contact Greg Bell, gimbal1@juno.com.
