Congregational Care
I give you a new commandment: love one another. Just as I have loved you, you should also love one another. If you show love for one another then everyone will know that you are my disciples.
John 13:34-35
Galilee's Congregational Care Ministries Team affirms God's call to care for hurting persons. Strengthened by the source of God's loving care, we accept the call to serve one another by providing care and support wherever and whenever needed. In your time of need your sisters and brothers wait, ready to help. Contact the church office, 703-430-2203, or Rev. Bob Bavender, pastor of Congregational Care.
