Building a Ministry for Homebound and Nursing-Home Residents
By Marie White Webb In today’s world, it is impossible for ordained clergy to meet everyone's needs. God calls us to varied ministries in our congregations. Are you ready for that call? Are you prepared to visit the homebound or persons living in nursing homes?
The needs of the frail elderly are growing yearly as our population ages. Building a Ministry for Homebound and Nursing-Home Residents is designed to equip persons in your church to be in ministry with this group. Although the frail elderly may have limitations, they need to be welcomed in the community, helped toward a relationship with God, nurtured in the faith, and supported in living as disciples in the world.
Webb helps us understand the frail elderly, provides guidance for visitation, and offers suggestions for leading worship in a group setting. A guide for training volunteers is also included. Clergy, chaplains, and leaders who plan and direct ministry to the homebound and nursing-home residents will find this book spiritual, encouraging, and practical. (2003) Book
