| What is Mutual Care at Trinity? We know that God lovingly cares for us as God’s children and has uniquely gifted everyone; therefore, we are called to express God’s love and care to one another. We, as the body of Christ,
need one another. We need to care for one another during the ups and
downs of life and through all of the transitions that life brings. Trinity’s Mutual Care Ministry is about helping people walk with others through life transitions. Everyone is encouraged to be a part of a small group to bond with and support one another. Leaders are equipped, coached, and supported to incorporate physical, emotional, and spiritual care as integral parts of every ministry at Trinity.
Scripture says,
“There are many parts, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, 'I have no need of you.'” God has so composed the body, giving the
greater honor to the inferior part, that there may be no discord in the
body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If
one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all
rejoice together.” (1 Cor. 12:22-26)
Mutual
care happens when small groups bond with one another: such as, the
Single/Divorced/Widowed small group, Fibro Friends small group or any
other intentional fac- to face-gathering in the congregation. It also
happens when CareGivers develop intentional relationships with older
adults. Home Communion Friends provide care when they bring communion
to the homebound. TLC Caregivers provide care and support to primary
caregivers. Mutual Care comes through Comforters who walk beside those
who have experienced the death of a loved one. If you are in need of
care or would like to join an intentional mutual care group whom reach
out people in the midst of life transitions, please contact Kris Linner
