Service Opportunities

This ministry feels that just because you’re retired, doesn’t mean you have to stop serving! Our senior adults are among the most active group of volunteers at AUMC. Check out the list of opportunities below and contact the Senior Adult Ministries Director Evelyn Leachman at 826-8800, ext. 281 or evelynl@aumc.net to get involved.

Cleanliness Ministry

This outreach ministry consists of collecting donations of soap, shampoo, deodorant, lotion, etc. to be given to local service agencies and organizations for people in need. Travel size items are especially useful. Items can be turned in any time at the Mathison Lobby reception desk.

EASE House Outreach

The East Alabama Service to the Elderly home provides life-sustaining care to elderly and disabled individuals to help them remain independent as long as possible. This home is for senior citizens age 62 or older who are considered low income. AUMC partners with the East Alabama Service to the Elderly by reaching out to EASE House residents through monthly bingo games and other encouraging fellowship. Please check the weekly AUMC newsletter for upcoming EASE House outreach events.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

This unique ministry reaches out to people in our community who are sick or grieiving. If you knit, crochet or quilt, join us as we make shawls to be given to comfort these friends in need. These shawls are prayed over by the group and provide comfort, encouragement and prayer to individuals who are hurting.
