Caring Connection Meal Ministry

This is a ministry that shares Christ’s love by providing meals to those who are experiencing a particular hardship.  Several groups within this ministry serve as the core team for contact when a person or family has a need.  These situations are loosely defined as hospitalization or a long-term illness (usually greater than one week), however other extenuating circumstances can also apply.  Please call the church office at 317-773-2500 if you or someone you know could use this service in a time of need.
