NHLC Care Team Ministry
NHLC Care Team

Our Care Team provides compassionate care to those within
our congregation. We are lay members who work to provide
confidential care to our faith community. One of the most
important parts of our response to God is using our gifts and
talents to help others.








Prayer

We go before the Lord in prayer, knowing He is indeed in the
midst of us,'guiding us, encouraging us, and loving us. Prayer is
one of His gifts to us—an opportunity to both breathe in His
presence and to lay before Him our deepest praises,concerns,
and confessions. We do this individually and also as a gathered
family. It is as a family that we gather, in our Prayer team, to
go before the Lord with any of your concerns or praises.














You can request prayer in several ways:
  • Write it down and place it in the offertory/prayer box
  • Call the church office at 608-767-2247
  • Send an email to: nhlc@tds.net
BeFriender Ministry

BeFriender Ministry meets the growing needs for pastoral care. At times, everyone is on a difficult journey
and needs a caring companion to listen, emphathize, and be a reminder of a loving and supportive
community. BeFrienders offer a one-on-one, non-judgmental listening presence to people in times of
transition such as illness, death of a loved one, birth of a child, or a move to a new home.

For more information about the BeFriender Ministry, contact the church office at 608-767-2247 or
coordinators Judy Nelson or Troy and Ruth Jacobson.  







Ministries to Homebound

We are a church family of all generations, and yet some of our members are unable to join us regularly.
Our ministries to the homebound provide a caring connection to our faith community.




  • Communion - volunteers bring communion to those unable to commune at one of our worship
    services. Volunteers go to homes, assisted-living facilities, and nursing homes once a month.
  • Visiting Friends - Volunteers visit those homebound members who would appreciate a friendly visit
    from a caring member of our faith community.

If you would like to request our Communion or Visiting Friends services, or would like more information on
sharing your hospitality as a volunteer, email Ann Lindley or call her at 608-795-2741.


Meals for Families

  • New Babies and Families in Need - As a faith community we stand together in the highest of highs
    and lowest of lows. Providing meals to families during these times in a simple gift that can be a great
    blessing. Coordinators are Auna Nelson or Ann Lindley.
