PB&J Club

Make Sandwiches for the Homeless

Occurs monthly in Hampstead, usually on the 2nd Sunday after the 11AM Mass

Stay after church in Hampstead and help make sandwiches for the homeless staying at the Good Shepherd shelter. Bring a loaf of bread or two and either peanut butter or jelly. This is a great outreach opportunity for the whole family to participate together.

Bring Jesus and Joy to the Homebound

When you bring Holy Communion to those who cannot attend Mass, you are bringing them the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. This important ministry to the sick and homebound visits care-facility residents at Woodbury/Stonebridge, Arbor Landing, and Davis/Champions on Sundays and Holy Days. This touching ministry has been led by Linda Choken, who is moving, and there is an opportunity for a new leader to coordinate visits and training. 

Send an email to us if a loved one is moving to a local care facility, if you’d like to be trained for this ministry, and especially if you are interested in finding out more about leading/coleading this sweet ministry team.
