Funeral
Dinners/Meals for the Sick Ministry
- Over
40 people make up the team for preparing and serving funeral dinners and
meals for the sick at Risen Christ.
- In
most cases, committee members are called and asked to provide a food item
for a funeral reception held at the parish social hall. Occasionally a parish family is in need
of meals to be delivered to their home over a short period of time.
- We are
called upon occasionally throughout the year, usually with just a day or
two to organize. Months may go by
without members being called, or members may be asked to help twice in one
month. The timing is unpredictable.
- Families
or individuals usually contact us through the parish office, parish
nurses, or a parishioner who knows of their need.
- We do
not hold meetings or issue a schedule, but we are recognized as a
functioning and important parish ministry.
- We are
always open to new members. If you
or someone you know is interested in joining this team, please sign up
today or consider signing up at the next ministry sign-up Sunday to be
held later this spring.
- If you
or someone you know is now or will be in need of our help in the near
future, please let us know. Contact
