Visitation Ministry celebrates 20th anniversary

Sunday, February 15th, the Visitation Ministry of Hoffman Global Methodist Church in West Milton held a celebration in honor of their 20th anniversary.  It officially began on February 6, 2006.  The mission began when Kathy Hayes lined up transportation for Pastor Tim Benkert.   Dr. Darlene Duchene researched and organized the ministry, starting out with eighteen people. At the present time there are seven teams of two each who visit twenty people.  They visit members of Hoffman as well as referrals from church members. 

There was a Meet and Greet time as well as a video.  Special recognition was given to Kathy Hayes, Dr. Duchene, and Wilma Fryman, who served as Chairman for ten years.  Kay Wagner is continuing into her ninth year as chairman.

The people who are visited look forward to the visits and share how much they appreciate the visitors.  All of the visitors remark that they enjoy the visits as much as the people being visited.  There are true friendships being forged due to God's love being the basis for this ministry.
