Social ministry

The purpose of the Social ministry team is to support seniors living at home, seniors who are in hospital or in nursing homes by making friendly visits in person, or by reaching out to seniors through phone calls. Team members bring news and greetings from the congregation. The visitors are volunteers.

The purpose of these visits is to help seniors and those who are ill stay connected to others and to their congregation. The hope is that the individuals will be uplifted by experiencing love and caring from others. In these ways, members of the social ministry team are working to fulfill the instructions of Jesus: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” (Matt. 25:35- 40).

To request a friendly visit, please phone pastor Matti Kormano (647 642 1717) or the Agricola office (416 489 7600).
