Care & Support
We believe that at the core of being a Christian is to care for one another. At Sanctuary there are opportunities to get involve to offer support to church families and families in the communities. If you are interested in getting involved or want to learn more, contact Sanctuary at info@sanctuarychurch.org or 215-699-9331.
Congregational Care Team
The Congregational Care team assists the Pastor in caring for the flock by conducting visitations, delivering flowers from our Flower Ministry, sending cards, calling, offering, or arranging transportation to church and elsewhere as needed. As a church family we believe it’s everyone’s duty to check in with one another and bring to the Pastor’s attention opportunities for care that may not be obvious.
Flower Ministry
Each week our altar flowers are available to be a blessing to someone. The card that accompanies them reads: These flowers have been in the sanctuary of our church. They heard the pastor’s message, the singing of the choir and congregation, the prayers offered in reverence before God. They come to you, still fresh from the holy atmosphere of worship, bringing with them our loving thoughts and warm wishes in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Home Communion
When we celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion, we do so as the Body of Christ. This important aspect of worship is something that we provide in a setting outside of church for those who are unable to attend in person. Whether at home, in a care facility, or hospital- brining the communion elements and partaking in communion is an expression of love.
Shawl Ministry
We keep a supply of Prayer Shawls, knitted by volunteers, for distribution by anyone who would like to wrap someone in love. Feedback from recipients is heartwarming- we hear time and time again “wearing my shawl is like getting a big hug, I can feel the love that went into every stitch”.
