Cancer Companions
We offer support for those who have or are going through cancer treatment and their loved ones. Join a discussion group or meet one-on-one for devotions and discussion. Plan to come in through the east parking lot door. Here’s what you can expect at a Discussion Group:
- Time to share from your experience
- A short video of three people’s stories
- A study guide including 9 topics
- Devotion with key Bible verse & questions
- Opportunity for prayer requests
The discussion group just completed a session. For one-on-one meetings, or for more information contact Deaconess Lisa Brand (lisa@oslcmankato.org or 385-2185) or visit the Cancer Companions website (cancer-companions.org).
Widowed to Widowed
This group meets the 2nd Monday of the month at 11:30 for a Potluck Luncheon and Bible Study. New people are always welcome.

Shut-in Ministry
If you or a family member is homebound, let us know. A pastor can visit the home and bring Holy Communion. The LWML also sends monthly cards to offer encouragement and to keep in touch.
Ministry to the Sick and Injured
If you are going in for surgery, or in the hospital for any reason, let us know. We would be glad to visit you. You can request prayers for during worship and/or through the prayer chain. If you go somewhere for rehabilitation you can let us know that as well.
