Connections Ministry
Shallowford’s Connections Ministry is made up of members dedicated to reaching out and building relationships within our church family. When assigned, keep an eye out for a postcard—plus a call, email, or text—from one of our connectors! Our goal is to engage in meaningful two-way conversations to strengthen our community ties.
Bereavement Ministry
A ministry devoted to offering comfort and love to friends and family of the deceased and extends hospitality to all memorial service attendees.
Care Ministers
Shallowford pairs volunteers—known as care ministers—to help care for individual church members who are unable to come to church regularly. Through monthly visits, calls, or notes, our team offers care and support.
Flower Guild
The Flower Guild creates beautiful arrangements to enhance worship and hospitality. For $80, you can sponsor Sunday flowers in honor of a loved one. Flowers come from church gardens, members’ homes, and local vendors. To order, call the church office or through the sign up sheet outside Heritage Hall.
Meals for Members
Shallowford coordinates and provides meals to members through the Take Them A Meal website. Whether welcoming a new child or assisting those during a difficult time, the congregation is always willing to help.
Prayer Network
Each member of the congregation is personally prayed for by volunteers for one month each year. Members pray for one another, and friends of the church through a weekly prayer email. Whether you need prayers for healing, are grieving the loss of a loved one, or are celebrating new life, you can count on the congregation to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. To submit a prayer request, please call the office. Click HERE to request the weekly email.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Throughout the year, the Prayer Shawl Ministry lovingly creates and shares personalized shawls with church and community members facing difficult times. Each shawl is crafted with care and infused with prayer, serving as a comforting reminder of God’s presence and the support of a loving faith community.
