GriefShare
Most people who have lost someone close to them, family or friend, are stunned, confused, deeply saddened, their world turned upside down. Trying hour by hour, day by day, they attempt to figure out how to go on without the loved one. The journey is called “grieving.” GriefShare brings these people together for 13 weeks, offering support, guidance and Biblical teaching as they share their story and loss with others who understand. For more information email griefshare@shoreline.church.
Meals Team
Tough things happen to families. Events like medical situations, job loss, natural disasters, loss of loved ones or other types of calamities. In coping with what’s happened, folks often find themselves unable to handle daily needs adequately.
The Meals Team offers meals for up to two weeks to the affected families. Once contacted, the Meals Team leader contacts volunteers on a list of providers who then sign up to take meals to the families. There is always room and a need for more people on our list of providers. For more information email meals@shoreline.church.
Hospital and Home Team
Previously tasked with only visiting folks in the hospital, this ministry now serves in both areas and more and more with those homebound who need a gentle touch through visits. Members of the team go to the homes of those requesting this service and spend time caring, comforting, and praying with those served. It’s clear this ministry is needed as it is growing steadily. For more information email visits@shoreline.church.
Women's Jail Team
Shoreline’s Women’s Jail Team volunteers are called to bring hope, fellowship, the Gospel and prayer to women incarcerated in the Monterey County Jail.
The WJT has members who visit the women one night per week, in rotations of two each. The stories they tell of God moving in these women’s lives! They bring musical worship, Biblical teaching, sharing and prayer. More volunteers are welcome – ask God if joining this team is for you. For more information email care@shoreline.church.
