Community Care

With the aid of many hands, the Befrienders of Bay View reach out with love and care to provide support for members and friends in times of need.

The Pastoral Care Team aims to create beloved community by providing care and support for times of challenge and difficulty. If you need a listening ear or a word of encouragement, please contact the Director of Worship and Religious Life, the Rev. Dr. Jason Byassee: worship@bayviewassociation.org.

The Flower Ministry is an extension of worship. Flowers which have graced Assembly Worship on Sunday morning are distributed to members in need, in grief, or who are celebrating a special occasion. You may sponsor altar flowers in honor or memory of someone for a suggested donation of $100, by following this link: Altar Flowers or by calling the Bay View Administrative Office: (231)347-6225.

The Intercessory Prayer Team meets Mondays, June 16 – August 11 at 11:15 a.m. in Crouse Memorial Chapel to lift in prayer those concerns offered up in worship. If you would like to know more about this ministry, contact the Director of Worship and Religious Life, the Rev. Dr. Jason Byassee: worship@bayviewassociation.org.
