Hospital  Visitation Team.  Hospital Visitation Team members make visits to those who are hospitalized.  Team members visit briefly and offer blessing, comfort and prayer for the hospitalized patient and the patient’s family, if appropriate.  The patient's general condition and energy level determines the length and nature of the visit.  Team members also assess any special needs the patient and/or family may have, e.g. meals, post-hospitalization needs, etc.  The assigned team member makes follow-up visits to the patient as long as the patient is in the hospital.  Hospital Visitation Team members receive a brief orientation before being assigned.

Would you like to be a part of the Hospital Visitation ministry?  Call the Care Ministries office at (402) 292-2695, Extension 112, or email at care@thanks-giving.org.

T!LC Prayer Ministries.  T!LC is a caring and loving community of prayer reaching outward to those who are hurting in mind, body, spirit or relationally.  We offer this through ordinary, petitionary, intercessory, healing prayers, and praying of suffering.  At T!LC, we teach that God answers prayer and we encourage everyone to grow in prayer.  We offer many opportunities to grow and serve in prayer. 

Listed below are ways in which you can share your prayer concerns and needs with the community of Christ at Thanksgiving.  When requesting prayer, the requestor needs only say what he/she feels comfortable sharing regarding specific details.  Privacy and confidentiality will always be honored and respected.

Prayer Chain.  The T!LC Prayer Chain is available to handle the immediate or urgent prayer needs of the congregation.  The Church Office – (402) 292-2695 – normally receives telephone requests for prayer during office hours.  At all other times, prayer requests can be called into the Care Ministries Telephone Line – (402) 292-7633 – or to John and Fran Taylor at (402) 291-5035.

Prayer Team.  The T!LC Prayer Team is established to handle the prayer requests/concerns recorded on the attendance/registration slips placed in the offering plates on weekend and special services.  The requests/concerns are compiled by the church office staff.  In addition to the church staff praying for each situation at their weekly staff meeting, the requests are assigned on a confidential basis to Prayer Team members who pray for each situation and write and send notes on behalf of the staff and congregation.
