More info:
The NDUMC Visitation Ministry Team provides supportive care to people referred
by the Pastor, church ministries, or church members or attendees who are in need of
supportive visitation. These needs could include, but are not limited to: end of life issues,
navigating long term care placement, illness, grief, divorce, job loss and loneliness. After
a person is referred they will be matched with a Visitation Volunteer.
After being matched with a person needing care, the Visitation Volunteer will meet with
that person on a regular basis. The visit can be in person or over the phone. The focus of
the visit will be to listen, care, encourage and provide emotional and spiritual support.
Visitation Volunteers can also offer Communion to those who would like to receive it.
The caring relationship will last as long as the need for care exists.
If you know someone who could benefit from this ministry or if you would like to request
visitation, please click on the Visitation Ministry Referral page and complete the form. This
confidential request will be given to Marilyn Macquarrie, chair of Visitation Ministry.
She will meet with the referred person and the team will then match them with a
Visitation Minister.
Visitation Ministry is open to all people. If interested in joining the team please contact
Marilyn Macquarrie at marilyn.macquarrie@gmail.com . She will assist you in
completing a volunteer application including background screening and Safe Sanctuaries
training which is required.
