Health Ministry

Health Ministry has been a big part of St. John’s for many years. For 2020 Kitty Hagglund and Judy Drake head this committee with Pastor Mike Shackelford as the pastoral contact. There are 8 more caring and committed members. Health Ministry meets on the first Sunday of each month at 4 pm in the PLC conference room for about an hour. Our main mission is to discuss the health concerns of our members on the Prayer Request List. We also pray for and create a schedule for calling, sending cards, and visiting our ill, injured, and homebound.

 

Health Ministry also coordinates the following activities:

• Ecumenical Blood Drives in 2021 with 7 other churches on Feb. 21, May 16, and Oct. 10
• Life Line Screenings, every 2 years.
• Health Ministry Sunday in October.
• Medical equipment, walkers and crutches are located in the HM Office.
• Monthly HM articles are in our monthly Newsletter and weekly bulletins.
• Health Ministry maintains a bulletin board in the Fellowship Hall.
• If urgent, rides are given to medical centers and doctor’s appointments.
• The Committee holds a retreat every fall.
