Volunteers Needed—Blessing of the Hands for Healthcare and First Responders

Volunteers Needed—Blessing of the Hands for Healthcare and First Responders

Monday June 7th 6:30am-7:30pm 

Faith Church will be providing a (contactless and drive through) Blessing of the Hands for first responders (police, fire, EMS, etc.) and healthcare staff Monday, June 7th from 6:30 AM to 7:30 PM so all shifts can attend.  We want to thank them for their work and offer support for the on-going challenges they face as they begin to recover from the trauma of their work during COVID. 

Volunteers are needed to:  1) pass out and post fliers, 2) spruce up the exterior of the church, 3) be a blesser, 4) and to serve as Greeters and traffic control throughout that day. 

We are asking folks to work 2-hour shifts, if possible.  To secure the slot and task that works best for you, please contact Pastor Carla [email protected] or Pastor Janet [email protected] to sign up!!  

Fliers are available in stacks of 10 at the church on the desk in the office.  Please stop by and place these in your local coffee shop, library, neighborhood store, etc.  You can also share a PDF of the flier by downloading it from the church website or sharing the Facebook Event from the Faith Church Facebook page with your friends.

Thanks for your help in caring for those who seek to care for others, even during the riskiest of times!

Blessing of the Hands on June 7th

For All Healthcare and First Responder Staff

June 7th 6:30am to 7:30pm (rain or shine)

Faith Church, UCC970 Loop 337, New Braunfels
ENTER from Loop 337 and EXIT onto Common Street

To acknowledge the care provided and added stressors faced this past year and offer support to the work still ahead, Faith Church is offering a contact-less, interfaith, Blessing of the Hands for all healthcare workers and first responders (fire, police, EMS, etc.). All are welcome!

Please enter from Loop 337, drive forward to the next available station, put on your mask (required for the safety of everyone), roll down your window, and place your hands outside your vehicle with palms up and together.

A cotton ball with lavender water will be dropped into your hands for you to make whatever symbol appropriate for your beliefs or simply to rub on your hands as an anointing.

A volunteer will say a blessing over your hands as you do this, then hand you a copy of the blessing to keep. Then please exit on the Common Street side of the church property.

All are welcome to this event designed to be a source of support and care to you, and all who have worked so hard to serve, protect, and care for our community during such challenging times.
