Team Ministry


All of you together are Christ’s body, and each of you is a part of it. 1 Corinthinas12:27 NLT

Many of us have been blessed to spend a single Sunday afternoon, singing or serving communion at a nursing home. But to carry on a long-term ministry outreach in our community calls for the teamwork of the body of Christ. None of us possess all the gifts, and our schedules are often dictated by things out of our control. People get sick, travel to visit family or have the water heater start leaking. That is when having other people pitching in makes a big difference. We were richly blessed this past Sunday at Discovery Villages to have my friend Ed come to play the piano. After seven years of singing along with my guitar, our residents were delighted to have a talented pianist leading us in the sweet hymn, “O! How I love Jesus!” I hope you will enjoy singing along with us and that you might consider getting involved in long-term care ministry in your own community. Have a blessed weekend everybody!

  1. Pastor Smith thanks for the reminder that ministry is a team effort, with each person bringing their unique gifts to serve others.
    What a blessing it must have been for the residents to enjoy those familiar hymns with piano accompaniment. It’s amazing how simple acts of service can bring so much joy.
    Thank you for sharing this encouragement.

  2. Thanks for reading and commenting, though I’m not sure who Pastor Smith is. I’m Peter Caligiuri and have had the privilege of being a volunteer chaplain for around 30 years. We go twice a month to Discovery Villages, and weekly to two other facilities in our community.
