Caregiving for Members

The Caregiving Ministry is comprised of the ministries described below, which strive to nurture the BPC family and witness Christ's love through service and prayer.

• The Chain of Prayer Ministry responds to hundreds of prayer requests every year. More than 50 volunteers receive the prayer requests via e-mail, fax, or telephone, and provide sustained, focused prayer for the needs and concerns of the church family.
  
  
• The Meals Ministry comes to the assistance of members who may be recuperating after a stay in the hospital, when a home-cooked meal brought into the home is just what they need.
  
  
• The Transportation Ministry serves our members who do not drive, happily providing rides to Sunday services, church functions, or even an important doctor's appointment.
  
  
• The Flower Ministry delivers the Sunday morning Sanctuary flowers to homebound members and local convalescent centers.
  
  
• The Memorial Service Ministry assists families in the planning of services for loved ones who have passed from this life to more life. This ministry is a comforting presence to bereaved families and provides ushers, hosts, and home-baked cookies for receptions after memorials.
  
  
• The Home Communion Ministry offers quarterly home communion visits for the homebound by our pastors.

The annual Christmas Caroling event is also sponsored by the Caregiving Ministry, and provides a joyful way to reach out to those in our church family and the larger community by singing to the homebound, those confined to nursing facilities, and our veterans at the Veterans Administration Hospital.

The Caregiving Ministry encourages members to make requests whenever they feel the need for support. These requests can be kept confidential if a member so wishes.

If you would like to make a request for yourself or if you know someone who could benefit from one of the Caregiving Ministries, contact the church office at 310-826-5656. You can also contact the church office if you would like the rewarding experience of serving in the Caregiving Ministry.
