Post Hospital Meals The EOB Team is restructuring their Post Hospital Meals program. Our goal is to provide a meal on three subsequent days for any member who has been hospitalized. We would like to have a rotating list of members who are willing to take a meal. If this is an area of ministry you feel called to please let Donna Jones know so you can be added. She would notify you when there is a need along with any dietary restrictions or preferences. Thank you for your consideration.
Visitation Team The EOB team in coordination with the Coordinating Team is looking to put together a team of people willing to do hospital visitations during this time that we are between full-time pastors. Hospital visitation provides a unique setting to minister to people who find themselves with a greater dependency upon friends, family, church, and their faith.
Those who prepare themselves to minister in hospital settings and to the sick will discover that a visit, a Scripture, a spoken word, or prayer will bring hope and comfort. Lives can be forever changed from your obedience to the Word of God and compassion for others.
If you are interested in serving on the Visitation Team, please contact Mary Chandler at 724-944-9552 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with your availability, contact info and what hospitals/areas you would be willing to visit.
