Eucharistic Visitors play a pivotal role in the church community, serving as a bridge between the Church and the World, serving those who are shut-in, sick, or unable to be inside the church to worship. We hope to inspire and guide attendees by introducing the many aspects of this sacramental ministry as well as offering a guide, using a standardized order of service for taking the Church (Body of Christ) to such members. We will also discuss some of the difficult and/or unusual challenges as well as the joys the Eucharistic Visitor encounters while encircled with the busyness and speed bumps that encroach on our lives today.
