Ever have the feeling you would like to give a little more of yourself to some kind of activity where you could help others without taking up too much of your time? Looking for an opportunity where you could show others some Christian charity in the form of sympathy, compassion, and warmth during their time of need?
Perhaps the Funeral Server Ministry might be just the answer for you. We are looking for men and women of all ages who could devote a couple of hours a month to helping their fellow Christians during their time of sorrow in the loss of a loved one. Perhaps we are looking for you.
Funeral Servers assist the priest with the funeral service which normally includes Holy Mass and appropriate memorial ceremonies for the deceased and the grieving family and friends. It is a special way to give of yourself by honoring our beloved deceased brothers and sisters and extending comfort and support to their families in their time of need.
Funerals are held on weekdays and Saturdays mornings, normally at 10:00 a.m. or 12:00 p.m. Only a couple hours at the most would be needed of your time for any one such rewarding experience. Training would be provided and you would serve with an experienced partner. The more teams we have the fewer times you would have serve per month.
Sound like something you could do? Do you think you might be able to spare a couple hours a month, whether on weekday mornings or Saturday mornings as your busy schedule permits, to reach out to others in this special way? You might be surprised at how rewarding it could be for you. If you are interested or would like to know more about this worthy ministry, please call Larry Opalewski at 586-286-2104.
God may be calling you to help His children in this special way. Won’t you please consider volunteering?
