Nurture & Fellowship
The Nurture & Fellowship Team, through prayer and intentionally loving actions, serves this community by extending the helping hand of Christ to our fellow disciples through their joys, sufferings, and celebrations of life.

Care Ministry
The Care Ministry Team includes, the Senior Pastor, Visitation Pastor, and
church volunteers. They meet regularly to discuss any concerns and celebrations submitted through the Sunday morning prayer cards, the TLLC website, or parishioners. Members are visited (as appropriate) and prayer concerns are shared with the Prayer Warriors.
Join our team!
Also part of our Care Ministry are:
- Prayer Warriors – Group of TLLC members who pray individually over the concerns and needs of our congregation throughout the week. Prayer requests are forwarded each week to the Prayer Warriors team leader through the Care Ministry Team or individual parishioners and then shared with the Prayer Warriors.
- Eucharistic Ministers – Group of TLLC members who visit those who are not able to attend worship but would like to partake of Holy Communion. The team visits individuals and brings them Communion at homes, hospitals, and residential facilities.
- Card Ministry – Church volunteers send cards of encouragement, congratulations, or get-well wishes to parishioners, as well as their families and friends, to let them know someone is thinking about them.
Prayer Shawl Ministry
Members pray as they make prayer shawls which are given to anyone experiencing a life crisis. All are welcome to participate. No experience is needed. If you or someone you know is in need of a prayer shawl, please contact the church office or fill out a Connections Card. Join our team!
