Respite Care Many in our congregation are caregivers to family members who are sick or shutin. Sometimes they need to go to the grocery store or to an appointment, or just to get out of the house for a break. It is important that caregivers have this time so that they don’t wear out taking care of their loved ones. Olivet would like to form a group of volunteers who would be willing to sit with folks for a couple hours at a time while their caregiver runs errands, etc. If you would like to be a part of this ministry, please let Pastor Matthew know.
