Ministry Needs

From the Wellness Ministry: Volunteers Needed! Love, Inc’s Durable Medical Equipment Loan Program lends medical equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, bath chairs, etc. to people at no cost for as long as they have a need. The program currently operates from Christ the King and Grace Episcopal Church, as well as the Love, Inc office in downtown Traverse City. Our parish has been asked to serve as a “west side” location for the program so that our parishioners and others in the surrounding community do not have to travel so far to utilize the program. We are in need of volunteers who would be available to check equipment in and out of the storage space when we receive a referral, and to order replacement equipment or move “extras” that are returned to another location. The time commitment for volunteers should be minimal. If you can help with this ministry, please contact Barb Wilson at (231) 276-3243.
LOVE INC. - 1 John 3:18 –“Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” Love In the Name of Christ is always looking for volunteers in big and small ways that want to share the gospel message of forgiveness and Grace with those in our community. We need volunteer for our Gap Ministries, Clearinghouse and Life Skills classes at Love INC. You can be the hands and feet of Christ in the world, making a difference in those we have been called to serve. Call 231-941-5683 or email loveinctraverse.org to talk with us about how to put your skills to work today.
