 An oppor­tu­nity to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ…

Dear Beaver Val­ley family,
As you know, we no longer have a vis­i­ta­tion min­is­ter but we still have approx­i­mately 20 fam­ily mem­bers who are con­sid­ered “shut-ins.” For many dif­fer­ent rea­sons they are unable to join us on Sun­day for church ser­vices. We now have an oppor­tu­nity to be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ in this world by accept­ing the call to min­is­ter to these souls.

There are easy guide­lines to fol­low and these vis­its would involve serv­ing com­mu­nion once a month, at your con­ve­nience. Com­mu­nion kits are avail­able, as well as a guide to take with you once you have made con­tact with your church fam­ily mem­ber. I have had the priv­i­lege of serv­ing in this capac­ity in the past and can say that I have felt blessed to be able to serve BVLC in this manner.

These vis­its really do not require a huge expen­di­ture of time or effort – just a heart for serv­ing oth­ers. The rewards are immea­sur­able. Mother Teresa once said, “We can­not all do great things, but we can all do small things with great love.” Please prayer­fully con­sider join­ing me in reach­ing out to those whose lives can be made eas­ier by our ser­vice to them.

Depend­ing on the response, we can get together some evening to dis­cuss what is involved, go over infor­ma­tion pack­ets, and allo­cate vis­i­ta­tion duties. I can be reached at (605) 757‑6287 after 5 pm. You can leave a mes­sage if nec­es­sary. I know we can meet this need. Flood my answer­ing machine with calls! God bless you and our won­der­ful church family.

In Jesus’ service,
Joan Arnott
