NURTURE COMMITTEE

A committee which responds to the spiritual, emotional, and often practical needs of members of the congregation.  Offering opportunities for prayer development and spiritual enrichment are among responsibilities of this group.  These people look for ways to "nurture" the membership of the church.

Other Ways to Serve the Nurture at First Church:
Prayer List:  People who desire to receive the weekly prayer list, generated by the congregation, and then pray over it.
Prayer Cards: Sent notes weekly to folks who have requested prayer.
Prayers and Squares and Knit-A-Prayer:

meet simultaneously on the 2nd Sunday and 4th Monday of every month from 1:00 - 4:00 PM in the Fellowship Hall.   Quilts and shawls may be requested by anyone who knows someone needing special prayer.  Request forms are available on Sundays and in the church office.   

 Prayers and Squares

 is a time for fellowship and prayer to make prayer quilts for folks with special needs.

Knit-A-Prayer is a fellowship for those who like to knit and pray as they make shawls.  Shawls are available on the spur of the moment to mark special occasions such as births and weddings or offering comfort to those in need.  Knit-A-Prayer is always welcoming additional participants to join us on our regular meeting dates.
