Friends at Home Ministry

We strive to give each of our mobility-challenged members a personal connection to the church through periodic visits and telephone calls.

1 Thessalonians 2:8 So deeply do we care for you that we are determined to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you have become very dear to us.

In addition, we offer to bring Holy Communion during the Lenten season, deliver poinsettias during Christmastime, and send out monthly mailings of interest to our Friends at Home.

If you would like to help make these deliveries, visits, phone calls, send notes of care or if you know a homebound member who might benefit from them, please contact Linda Christians at lchristians@stlukesmethodist.org or (713) 402-5156.
