Visitation
I’m thrilled to announce that Lynn Schellenberg took on the lead role of the visitation ministry in 2021. She has brought an incredible amount of passion and drive to the ministry. We held an evaluation and encouragement meeting in October, and I was truly inspired to hear our visitors’ stories of how God used them through the pandemic.
Some of our visitees went to be with the Lord in 2021 but we were blessed to add some new visitees as well. We continued to visit 30+ people in our church family and have 20+ visitors. With physical visitations being limited, we continued to focus more on phone calls and letters, but some personal visits also occurred.
The card ministry, led by Melissa Toth, Darlene Hjelte, and Ruth Moerman, has been very positive with our visitees. We sent cards with words of blessing, Our Daily Bread Devotionals, bookmarks, and this year I added a personal Christmas letter which included a picture from one of our children in Pastor Cindy’s children’s ministry. We sent out encouragement cards once a quarter.
