If you like to bake bread, any kind of bread, you might enjoy being part of a ministry that provides a loaf of fresh baked bread to first time visitors.

Tracy Prettyman is the coordinator.

Trained lay ministers deliver communion monthly to sick and homebound members of the congregation. Dawn Cullis coordinates this ministry.

If you know of someone who needs communion delivered or if you would like to participate in this ministry you may contact Dawn Cullis

Pastoral Counseling Services of Maryland (PCSM) is a not-for-profit, community-based organization dedicated to strengthening emotional and spiritual health by providing counseling and psychotherapy services to individuals, couples, families, children and adolescents. 
 
Severna Park United Methodist Church hosts several counseling and support groups that meet at our church on a regular basis.  Click here for a partial list of the services that are available through these groups.

The Homebound Ministry is alive and well at SPUMC, but can be even better with your help.
 
The purpose of this ministry is to keep in touch with our homebound members through prayer, calls, cards, and visits. We would like to form a rotation of members who would be willing to provide transportation to SPUMC members who would like to attend services. There will be sign-up sheets at the Homebound table in Fellowship Hall on Be the Church Sunday. Additionally if you know of someone who needs this service, please email Bette MacWilliams or see her at the blood pressure table on Sundays. 
 
We would welcome additional volunteers. We meet for an hour 3-4 times a year, and ask only that you have a heart for the homebound.

Volunteers provide meals to those in the congregation who need assistance during times of illness or other crises.  Members of the Kindness Kitchen Ministry Team all agreed that the grace of the ministry works both ways as many recalled how they were blessed by taking a meal to someone. 

It's not necessary to be members of our church to receive this service. Persons may request meals by contacting the church office at 410-987-4700, or by filling out a request form located at the Welcome Center

If you would like to participate in the committee, need a meal or know of someone who does, contact Bette MacWilliams

The goal of our Prayer Shawl Ministry is to offer comfort to those experiencing chemo, radiation, or other treatment for diagnosed cancer as well as those receiving dialysis or in a church home.

Members of the Shaw Ministry knit and crochet the shawls, lap robes, hats and slippers.  By the time a shawl is completed, it is filled with prayers, providing not only physical warmth but also great spiritual comfort and an understanding of another's struggles or grief.  A prayer shawl is worth thousands of words.

A team assembles and delivers baskets of gifts to persons who are ill, grieving, recuperating, etc.  Assembly coordinated by Dianne Dodson, delivery coordinated by Vickie Gartside.

If you know of someone who is ill, grieving or recuperating, please call the church office 410-987-4700.
