 We are in need of volunteers to visit patients in your community. Although visiting hospice patients isn't for everyone, for those who choose to give back in this way, it is a very rewarding experience for both volunteer and patient. Wouldn't we all want someone there for us when we needed the support. Angelic Health Hospice looking for volunteers For as little as an hour or two a month you can make a difference to a hospice patient in your community. Angelic Health Palliative & Hospice Care is asking you to share your time and compassion to those on their final journey. Your visits can mean so very much to hospice patients and their loved ones. Your volunteer service will fit your schedule and interests, and visit assignments are your choice.

Our Mission Focus for the month of February is on Sarah Brown.  Sarah was a member of our Youth Group several years ago and felt the call to work in the Mission field. She selected The New Tribes Mission and went to Bakersfield, California and is currently sharing the Gospel and her faith with the Sikh Punjabi people. New Tribes Mission has changed its name to Ethnos 360. Ethnos means people groups - the word Jesus used when He commanded us to make disciples of all nations (people groups). 360 represents the entirety of the globe. It also represents the cycle of the Great Commission, as a people group goes full circle from receiving missionaries who bring the gospel to them and make disciples to becoming a thriving church that sends men and women out to other people groups. Sarah has been involved in the Punjabi community in Bakersfield.  She appreciates all out support and donations. Please keep Sarah I and her work in your prayers.
