Congregational Care Ministry
Our Congregational Care Ministry volunteers nurture and care for individuals in our church community during times of illness, hospitalization, grief, and other challenging life situations. We also care for the church family in times of joy, i.e, birth or adoption of children, and other significant life events.
Sometimes it is a simple phone call, a card in the mail, or a short visit to share God’s love with those who may be homebound or lonely. Congregational Care Ministry volunteers also may assist in providing Holy Communion to the homebound, hospitalized, or those recently released from the hospital who are unable to attend worship.
Both men and women are needed to make this an effective ministry. If you know someone might benefit from a call, visit or other caring, please contact Bonita Cox at congregationalcare@littlerivermc.org

Loss of a loved one…
GriefShare is a faith based support group for people who have lost a spouse, child, family member, or friend through death.
It is a 13-week seminar with a video presentation and discussion at each session.
Anyone who has lost a loved one can benefit from this support group. We encourage you to come and see how we can all work and pray together toward peace during the difficult grieving process.

The Outreach team provides a welcome bag to each family visiting for the first time here at Little River. First time families receive an invitation to Wednesday Night Meals for a true taste of Little River Methodist hospitality.
Welcome your new neighbors. Invite them to worship and fellowship.
Outreach also gets our information into the Cherokee Ledger, Woodstock and Town Lake Magazines, Chamber of Commerce web page and other publications.
