Visiting

Several people have been actively involved in visiting on behalf of the church with people who are home-bound, throughout the years and this continues to be a strong area of the congregation’s life. Now, in order to build on this strength, we are developing a more systematic approach to our Visiting program.

Blessing of your Home

A home new to you, changed by you, receiving a new roommate.
This is a time to remember God’s blessings are found in your home.
A service is available for you to do with friends and/or family.
You can invite a Reverend to join you as well.

Home Communion

Every time the Sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated at Robertson-Wesley, our Visitors have the opportunity to take the consecrated elements to their Visitees at home and share a simple service of communion with them. This is simply an extension of the serving of communion by the servers in the sanctuary. In this way, even those who are unable to attend are included in the fellowship of the sacrament.

Canterbury Worship

The Ministry Personnel of Robertson-Wesley conduct a monthly worship service in the chapel at Canterbury for the residents of the Canterbury Manor, Court, or Lane. It is a simple service with hymns, scripture, prayers, and a message; and communion is included twice a year. We also have a little fellowship time following each service.

Canterbury Tea

For years, Robertson-Wesley has put on an annual tea in May at Canterbury to which all of the residents are invited. We typically have an attendance of 100 to 150. It is wonderful opportunity to meet several of the residents and to let them all know that the church cares about them. We always have lots of squares and cookies donated by Robertson-Wesley people, a wonderful team of servers, and our Music Director is usually there to entertain on the piano.

Rosedale Social Hour

Robertson-Wesley holds an annual Social in September at Rosedale Assisted Living for residents of “the Park”, “the Villa”, and “the Estates”. It is an intimate gathering of usually 20 to 30, with an invitation to Robertson-Wesley people and their friends.
