Caring Ministries
March Bloodmobile – Monday, March 20, 1:30 – 6:30pm
The Red Cross Bloodmobile will visit Crossroads Ministry Center on Monday, March 20, 1:30 – 6:30pm. The donation process takes about one hour, and each donated unit can help save up to three lives. If you are unable to donate but would be interested in serving as a volunteer registrar/host(ess), or, if you would like help with online donor registration, please contact Judy Hug at judyhug@love-first.org or 740.653.3330, extension 1009.
Blood Pressure Screening – has Returned!
Blood Pressure Screening will return on a monthly basis beginning September 4. The intent of this ministry is to provide participants with a reliable blood pressure reading for their personal use when visiting their care provider. Please visit Room 14 in the parlor on the first Sunday of each month between services. If you are a person trained in offering blood pressure screening with a digital monitor and would like to volunteer for this important ministry, contact Judy Hug at 653-3330 ext 1009 or judyhug@love-first.

Visitation Ministers Needed! Training Provided!
Visitation can be scary, especially if you don’t know the person you are to visit. There are solutions!
- Send a greeting card – no special occasion necessary; your contact is special enough!
- Make a quick phone call – just to say ‘hi’ and to ask if the member/friend might have something for which you and your family can pray.
- Prepare a small gift bag of cookies and/or candies, with a scripture or short note.
- Take a friend when you visit!
- Make arrangements with Judy Hug, Caring Ministries Coordinator, to visit a member/friend with her.
How do you express a loving concern for others?
There are many wonderful ways in which to show God’s love and yours to others in our church family and in our community. Hospital Visitations are important in reminding those that are experiencing illness, injury or recovery that God is with them, and so is their church family! Two local facilities have requested monthly worship experiences from our church – a beautiful way in which to involve your family or small group or just yourself in bringing God’s word to others unable to attend worship among us.
