Being A Caregiver for Jesus
JOHN GLASS
One of the things that a pastor does is visit people; that is a prime responsibility of my work as Pastor for Pastoral Care. There are limitations, however. How do you ever get to everyone? I think the answer to that is you don’t. Here is where a member like you can be such a blessing to someone who is homebound, recovering in a hospital, or living in an adult care facility. You can multiply the number of people who are visited, that I just might not be able to reach for a while. My wife, Teresa, used to visit an older lady who had pretty much lost her memory.
Renovate 2.0 Update #7
The Project: The elevator arrived this week! The installation process will take about two weeks with other final details. The state elevator inspection is expected to take another 2-3 weeks after that. The glass wall will be installed, and the project will be done!
Fundraising: As of 7/01/23, there is $708,221 that has been raised with $291,779 to reach our goal! -We are so close!- Please join with others to finish this wonderful addition! Remember Renovate 2.0 in your giving plans and pray for its completion!
Pray-ers Needed
Each Sabbath morning at both services, people gather in “The Prayer Room” to pray for the church service, the participants, the congregants, and for the prayer requests submitted each week on the Connect Cards. We are in need of more volunteers for both services. You can set your own schedule—once a month, two months a year, whatever works best for you! If you have a heart to pray for others or are simply looking for more information, please contact Deb Montcalm at

The congregation in Big Rapids knew their church roof needed to be replaced but had no idea how to pay it. Short-term fixes had failed to correct the damaged area on the roof and the need to have it repaired had become urgent. Buckets had to be placed in the hallway when it rained in order to catch the water coming in – and each time it rained, there was potential for further damage to walls and floors.
