What is Care Night?
Care Night offers a place where we can all come, just as we are, to find comfort and rest in the presence of those around us who walk beside us. Offered regularly throughout the year, Care Night is a safe place to come together and be fed, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Through gifts of food, worship, and guidance, you too can begin the journey toward healing, and know that you are not alone. Everyone is welcome!
What Others Are Saying About Care Night
“I came to Care Night by invitation, not quite sure what to expect. I found it so comforting to share and to listen to others in similar situations. I left feeling I wasn’t alone.”
“Care night is a time to reflect, cry, move forward with new friends. Each one of us have our own story and pain.“
“Care night was a safe place where folks like me with broken wings could gather without fear of judgment and experience the love of Christ in a very real and Direct – hands on way”
Caring Hands Prayer Shawl Ministry
What is a prayer shawl? Can you touch a prayer? Can you pull it close and feel it’s comfort? You can if it comes as a gift in the form of a prayer shawl. Prayer shawls are a powerful reminder of God’s love and care. The shawls are given to people in the Providence Church community and beyond who are dealing with loss, illness, or other difficulties. They are made by hand and prayed over throughout the entire process, beginning with the first stitch to the moment they are given to their recipient.
