S.U.m. Hope Ministries

S.U.M. Hope Ministry’s goal is to reach out to our fellow parishioners with love, comfort, friendship, prayers, and our presence when it is wanted. There are many different kinds of sorrow and our ministry is striving to develop ways to meet this kind of need. We have training sessions and reference material available, but most importantly, we have our Christian hearts willing to reach out and serve our church members.

God has given us the commandment to love one another and our neighbors as ourselves. What better way to follow God’s intention for our lives than to minister to those who are in need of a friend’s sincere and loving compassion.
