Widow/Widower’s Ministries. At Snyder we recognize that God has commanded us to give special care to our widow and widowers. Along with our specialized Grief/Share support group which has been formed for widows/widowers, we also are working on a partnership ministry which allows for one-on-one fellowship to offer comfort and companionship during the tough time of that first year after an individual’s loss of his/her spouse. We also have special fellowship times when the widow and widowers of the church gather to have a meal sponsored by the church leaders just so they can know how special they are to us. Our carpentry ministry offers a ministry to our widows and widowers to provide minor home repairs by someone who can be trusted.
Homebound Ministry. A group of our members visit those who are confined to home to keep them in touch with their church even though they are no longer psychically able to attend.
The Philadelphia Ministry. Another group of members keeps in regular contact with older members who need assistance in securing groceries, need transportation to doctors, or running other errands. They often provide food when these folks are sick and visit and call these folks to provide opportunities for fellowship and contact with the outside world.
