Serve One Another For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ “The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’ Matthew 25: 35-40 , ,

What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? in the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. James 2: 14-17

SEEKING VOLUNTEERS All Heart is Seeking Hospice Volunteers

All Heart is seeking warm, caring people interested in offering care with a particular religious tradition or visits to those who have similar religious views and need additional spiritual support. Volunteers would work with their Chaplain, and could make as few as one visit, one call a month to a hospice patient of their choosing. Volunteers in hospice find it personally gratifying, intellectually stimulating, and emotionally meaningful to assist those in need at a critical point in their lives. Why should someone consider becoming a hospice volunteer with All-Heart? • Because hospice volunteers do rewarding work! • Because patients and their families depend on volunteers as part of their hospice care. By attending to the needs of both patients and their loved ones, volunteer support are a huge comfort for the family during a difficult time. • Without the efforts of volunteers, hospice could not continue its important work. • There's a lot to be gained from being a hospice volunteer • Satisfaction from making a difference in people's lives, and receiving their gratitude in return. • Greater self-knowledge from insights gained from these relationships. • Spiritual growth from supporting a person through the process of dying. • Greater self-knowledge gained through supporting people in crisis. If you are interested in becoming a hospice volunteer, or if you

would like to know more, please contact Amy Kelly, Volunteer

Coordinator with All-Heart Home Health & Hospice at 757-961-0049
