Befrienders

The Befriender Ministry was developed to train lay people to assist the Pastor in providing care, support and comfort to those in need.  The Befrienders are trained volunteers who may be called upon to make hospital visits, visits to shut-ins, provide transportation to appointments, do errands for those unable to drive themselves, or to answer any number of needs for those in the congregation.  Their role is that of Christian caregiver.  St. Johnʼs has 10 trained Befrienders.  If you are interested in training for this ministry please phone Marj Hipke (882-4476) or Deanna Jeans (882-5829).
