Parish Nurse Shirley Goodall
Reducing Volunteer Hours - HUMC’s volunteer parish nurse, Shirley Goodall, is cutting back on her volunteer work load. Responding to God’s call on her life, the last several years Shirley has served HUMC and the Hilliard community as a full-time parish nurse volunteer. Many, many people can give testimony through support groups, education, and caring visits to Shirley’s effectiveness in ministry. As Shirley tries to reduce the demands on her life, HUMC will continue to be blessed by Shirley’s ministry as she plans to continue her support group ministries, Sunday morning blood pressure checking and sharing of information, and especially visitation ministry and support of HUMC shut-ins. Of course, with Shirley “cutting back,” there are several ministries that will be in need of leadership for their continuance. Perhaps one of these opportunities resonates with your heart and is a ministry to which God is calling you. Please let us know if you have interest and passion for serving or leading in any of these ministry areas: Bereavement Ministry: along with pastors/church office, making contact with families of deceased persons to inquire of needs; arrange placement/delivery of memorial rose from church; sympathy card follow-up; assisting with church funeral arrangements. Worship video taping ministry: for taping one or more of Sunday morning worship services in The Sanctuary, and other special events. Coordination AED (Artificial Electronic Defibrillation) and CPR training Church first-aid kits maintenance: working with various ministry leaders to make sure first aid supplies in kitchen, classrooms, and office are kept up to date. Prayer chain coordinator: be the point-person for maintaining and coordinating our e-mail prayer chain ministry. Blood mobile / blood drive coordination If you are interested in being a part of any of these ministries, please contact Shirley (sgoodall@hilliardumc.org), the church office (876-2403), David Ziegel (dziegel@hilliardumc.org), or mark the Sunday morning “sign in card.”
