we care

Barnabas Ministry

Angel Food Ministry

This care ministry serves home bound and elderly people within our church community and beyond. Barnabas volunteers make visits/contact at least once a month, providing fellowship and spiritual care to those who cannot always make it to worship services. If you are interested in becoming a Barnabas volunteer, or if you know someone who needs a visitor, please contact the church office at office@clumc.com or 605-348-1080.

Angel Food Ministry

The Angel Food program provides meals to members who have an illness, a new baby, or just need a caring touch. Meals are lovingly made and delivered by volunteers. To volunteer or request a meal, please contact the church office at office@clumc.com or 605-348-1080.

Prayer Ministry

Hospital Visitation Team

Need prayer? We have a host of people who will start praying right away. Judy Lehner leads the prayer chain. Her email is j8lehner@gmail.com. We also have a prayer shawl ministry. We would love for you to have a prayer shawl (full or pocket-sized!) that reminds you that we care and are praying for you.

Hospital Visitation Team

We want to offer prayer and care while you are hospitalized, in rehab, or recuperating from surgery. Please let us know if you or someone you know could benefit from a check-in by contacting the church office.

Grief Support

Cancer Care Kits

Grief group meets the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of each month at 10 AM in the rose garden. Anyone at any stage of their grief journey is welcome. Come and join us as we seek healing together. You may simply just come and join us, or call the office for more information.

Cancer Care Kits

Canyon Lake UMC’s Chemo Care Gift Kits are offered to church members and members of our community who are going through chemotherapy. The kits are filled with supplies that people find helpful as they journey through this most difficult time. Kits are given out when healthcare professionals or our members who volunteer at the hospital notice that someone needs to know they are not alone. For $18.00 you can sponsor a Chemo Care Gift Kit and be part of this mission. You may mark your donation “Chemo Care Kits” and bring to church, or click below:

Prayer Shawls

Cancer Care Kits

Prayer Shawls

Prayer Shawls are made to give comfort to those who are sick or in need of care and support. Crafted with love and prayer, they provide a physical reminder of God’s love. We have small pocket-size and larger shawls available. Do you know someone who is discouraged, sick or hurting? Pick up a shawl to give to that person. Simply take the prayer shawl, fill out the card regarding the recipient of the shawl, and leave that card in the church office or the offering plate. Then take the prayer shawl to that person - and you’re invited to pray with them, too.
