| Friendly Visitors | | The Friendly Visitor program is a one-to-one connection with members of University Lutheran Church of Hope who have special needs. Many are shut in, either at home or in a care center. Some still attend church and care for themselves, but need a special friend. We like to describe these visits as the arms of University Lutheran Church of Hope reaching out and embracing these members to let them know we care.
Presently, there are 25 to 30 volunteers serving faithfully as Friendly Visitors. Each volunteer is assigned a specific person or couple and is asked to visit one or two times each month plus phone calls. Birthdays are celebrated. Family connections are made. At Easter, the Friendly Visitor delivers a lovely plant from the chancel area.
This is a ministry with an impact. You do the connecting within your time frame. There are no scheduled church meetings to attend.

Thanks to the Friendly Visitors. You truly are working in God's vineyard.
