Prayer Shawl Ministries
Our inventory of shawls, lap robes and
quilts is low, and we are working hard to build it back up
once again. If you knit, crochet or quilt, the ministry could use
your help. A long-term commitment is not required. Some women have
made one shawl; some have made many more.
Please feel free to attend our
meetings on the first Thursday evening of every month. Some
attend occasionally or simply stitch at home.
Consider making a shawl, lap robe or
lap quilt to share the warmth of God's love to those who are facing
life altering events, such as an illness, birth of a child or
loss of a loved one. For
more information, contact
Jane Rager at 598-3205 or email yogiscave@aol.com.
Purpose for Nurture Ministries
The purpose of our Nurture ministry area is to
promote Christian formation through various educational programs and
to provide a comprehensive congregational care plan, led by our
laity, to meet the needs of families and individuals of all ages.
Our Christian education program seeks to foster
growth through a variety of
Sunday
School classes for all ages and by offering long
and short term Bible and topical studies throughout the year.
Powhatan United Methodist Church provides active
children and
youth
ministries, and supports higher education through scholarships and
acts of encouragement. We offer small group opportunities for
fellowship and service through the
Monday
Night Circle, Circle of Friends, Just Older Youth, and the United
Methodist Men’s group. Our Prayer Partners pray
regularly for members and visitors to our Church and for those
around the globe. Our Stephen Ministers spend time in caring
relationships with those who are struggling with the challenges of
life.
Powhatan United Methodist Church continually seeks to
be a caring presence in the lives of all our members and friends,
from the youngest infants who visit our nursery to the honored aging
in nursing homes.
