Back to Church Ministries Page Our congregation is involved in many service ministries to its members, the Christian community, and to the greater Madison community. In addition to the activities listed below, we also offer our church building to a wide range of community groups for their meetings and programs. Home Communion Ministers: Volunteers bring the sacrament of Holy Communion to our homebound members once a month. Prayer Shawls: Members of our congregation knit prayer shawls that are then given to persons going through a difficult life experience. The shawl is a reminder of the constant presence of God in our lives and the care and concern of our faith community for the person who receives the shawl. Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN): Four times per year our church hosts homeless families in transition to permanent housing. Volunteers are needed to prepare food, give rides, do laundry, serve as hosts, and assist guest as needed. For more info about IHN: www.nihn.org IHN Sign-up Online IHN Job Descriptions Homeless Shelter: On the first week of each month, volunteers from Midvale assist with the Grace Episcopal shelter. Adopt-A-Highway Project: Volunteers clean-up litter and trash along the West Beltline Highway, between Midvale Blvd. and Whitney Way. CROP Walk: This countywide event is a fundraiser for fighting hunger both locally and globally, and occurs the second Sunday in October.
