Featured Volunteer: Rosalie Sulgit-Shay


"Being a member of the Heart in Hand Ministry is a joy in my life. I have been to homes, hospitals and so many different environments for visits. Some people I have visited for many years and others a single time. Each visit brings a new opportunity for me and for the person I am visiting. It is always a treasured time to listen and pray with someone and this ministry offers that to me."


Thank you, Rosalie, for your many years of pastoral service to our community.

Heart in Hand Spiritual Care – Visits and Calls – (707) 546-4543 x 370

The Mission of the Heart in Hand Spiritual Care Ministry is to bring a presence and message of love to congregants during times of health challenges, transition, and grieving.

If you would like spiritual support during a time of health challenge, please contact us. We are happy to visit you in person or speak with you over the phone, to provide loving listening and prayer (spiritual mind treatment). Your requests and conversations are held in sacred confidentiality among the members of our ministry.

Call and leave a message at (707) 546-4543, ext. 370. We check this voice mailbox at least twice daily. Or visit the Heart in Hand table in the Social Hall on Sunday morning to put a written request in the prayer box.

Heart in Hand also provides a facilitated Grief Support Group each Sunday at 12:45 pm at the Center. Please feel welcomed to attend this group when you have been touched by transition. We will listen lovingly, respectfully, and tenderly.

Approximately 25 congregants serve in the Heart in Hand Spiritual Support Ministry. All ministry members have taken Basic Principles, Foundations, or Beyond Limits and a Heart in Hand training. Rev. Joyce Duffala and the ministry’s core team ensure that all requests receive confidential loving attention from ministry members.

We're Passing the Baton, is it to you?

We have mentioned before that we are intending to gradually scale back on bookstore duties and eventually step down completely.  We are actively seeking people to help in the following areas: advertising, computer skills (Excel, Word), social media, graphic art (creative signage), special events, deep cleaning and the BIG ONE...retail management and retail buying skills.  Passing the baton Yes, we wish to pass on the management of the store to new volunteers, preferably a manager and assistant manager (or perhaps a management team).  In this store's management, the most important and time-consuming tasks are ordering product, input of product and managing the product.  We would train and continue to advise (if necessary) to ensure a smooth transition of leadership in the two basic areas of gift items and books.
