One active ministry that our
church and other area churches participate in regularly is the Nursing Home
Ministry. This Ministry helps bring the Gospel message to people of all
ages who are temporarily or permanently confined to a nursing home. Local
homes visited include the Bradford Ecumenical Home, Bradford Nursing
Pavilion and Bradford Manor. In addition to the residents, staff members
and other visitors are often present for services.
A typical service provided by our team usually lasts about a half hour.
Traditional Christian hymns are sung and a short Gospel message is
presented. Participants are invited to share prayer needs and time is spent
visiting individually with residents.
This Ministry helps those confined to a nursing home know that they are not
forgotten and that the Gospel is still an active part of their lives. Those
providing the Ministry feel the satisfaction and joy of sharing the Word of
the Lord on a personal level.
