A member led ministry of Waldo Baptist Church caring for our members who are unable to gather with us in person so they know they are loved and missed but not forgotten.

A Silver Angel is a church member (usually an elderly person) facing challenges that prevent them from attending services, often due to health or physical limitations. The goal of this program is to remind our brothers and sisters in Christ that they are not forgotten and that we value them deeply.

You don't need to make a significant contribution. We've provided some gift ideas below, but feel free to use your own creativity. Remember, spending time with someone can be the greatest gift of all.

Some suggested items include non-slip socks, large-print puzzle books, adult coloring books and crayons, hand and body lotion, lip balm, hand wipes, wearable blankets or shawls, tissues, homemade cookies and candies, candy bars, hard candy, and small poinsettias or Christmas cacti.

Currently, we have one member in assisted living and approximately 10 shut-ins.

To sponsor someone, or add someone to our list, please contact Diana Swinford at 618-534-4518 or Judy Furguson at 270-564-6057.

Would you like to be a part of our Homebound Meal Ministry? This is a as wonderful way to show our members a little Waldo love! AND it provides such a blessing to the giver!!!

We provide occasional meals to those who are shut in and having a difficult time. Helping out is at your convenience. Whenever we learn about someone who may need a meal(s), we will send a text message out to all those who would like to be involved sharing who needs a meal and asking if anyone can participate. If you can assist that week that’s wonderful and if you cannot we understand.

The meal can be homemade or can be picked up (or delivered) from a restaurant (i.e. Olive Garden, KFC, BBQ, Pizza). Whatever is most convenient for you. (We can also assist with picking up the meal and having it delivered).

For more information or to volunteer please contact Diana Swinford at 618-534-4518.
