Our Hospital Ministry began with the health struggles our own members have faced over the years. Those experiences taught us what people need during a long hospital stay, and how heavy the emotional and spiritual burdens of that time can be.

​

Hospital bags are filled with items for physical comfort. They also include encouraging spiritual material, and our team visits when possible. Cancer Care bags are for those going through chemotherapy. They hold many of the same items, plus a folder for paperwork and other things that help during treatment. Our volunteers make the bags, quilts, and many other items by hand, and members donate items to fill the bags.

Knowing others are praying for you in a crisis is powerful. We believe God is using the hardships we’ve faced for good: “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

​

You don’t have to be a member to receive a bag, request prayer, or get a visit. To request a bag or add someone to our prayer list, email MCOCHospitalMinstry@outlook.com or call the church office. Include the person’s name and hospital room number.
