‘Companioning’ ministry

A companion: A person who accompanies.

At certain times in our lives, we may long for a companion to share in our journey, to walk alongside us, to be a listening ear. Perhaps it’s a time of grief or an expanding family, a transition into a nursing home, or a return from a hospitalization.

This newly-conceived opportunity, called Companioning, is a great way to share your time and show compassion. Is God calling you to serve in this way? A Care Companion is not an expert or a counselor, but someone who walks alongside and shares a journey for a time.

Training sessions will be held from 6:30-8:00 p.m.:

  • September 20 & 27
  • October 4 & 11
  • Or October 9 for a one-time session from 8:30-3:30 p.m.

All sessions will take place in the Luther Loft.
