Care Ministries

Care Ministries

We believe that Jesus gave us the perfect example of how to care for one another during mountain tops moments and dark valleys. Need to speak with a pastor or schedule a hospital or home visit?  Our care team is here to help. Please reach out to Pastor Jamison Rudd at jamison@fumcedmond.org or 405-341-0107.

Teach us, O Lord, your lessons, as in our daily life we struggle to be human and search for hope and faith. Teach us to care for people, for all, not just for some, to love them as we find them, or as they may become.

~ Fred Kaan, Help Us Accept Each Other, UMH 560.

The congregational care team visits members in our church who are no longer able to attend church services or participate in activitIes. The care team makes personal visits sends cards, makes phone calls, and takes communion to those that desire it.
