What does Community Care look like?

Community Care…what does that look like? Well, the care we try to provide looks different each time, because those in our community have needs which differ from time to time. We make hospital visits, provide food, send flowers….But one area you may not be aware of is that we have medical equipment which has been donated that can be loaned out as needed. When you or your loved one doesn’t need it any more, it can be returned and someone else can use it. Some of the medical equipment we have is:
· Electric Hospital bed
· Wheelchairs
· Walkers
· Canes
· Shower chairs
· Bedside commodes
· Electric scooter
If you or any of your family has a need for any of these, contact Barbara Sage at 602-430-3626 or Linda Aufrance at 623-849-8984.
Jesus says in Matthew that whatever we do for one another, we are doing it for Him.

The Alabaster Jar

You may remember the story in the New Testament about the woman who poured an Alabaster jar on Jesus. I believe the alabaster jar represents the costly ointment of caring, of concern, or tenderness. This is what Jesus meant when He said, "Come, follow me!" And so we break forth the alabaster jar of love in ministering to the homeless one who wants acceptance and compassion, to the frail elder who needs comfort and consolation, to the sick child, wishing someone could just understand, to the terminally ill person, seeking strength and peace. That is what we do in caring for the community of Turning Leaf. Practicially, that may look like providing meals for someone who is ill, or visiting someone in the hospital, or taking someone to the doctor. We come to church each week to have our jar filled up so we can pour it out on those who need it through the week. If you want to be involved in this important ministry, contact Pastor Barb at 602-430-3626, or Linda at 623-849-8984.
