  Congregational Care Network Team

  Second has partnered with IU Health to be part of the Congregational Care Network (CCN). We have a trained CCN team that, alongside other local Christian, Jewish, and Muslim congregations, seeks to address loneliness and social isolation in our community.

  Prospective CCN volunteers receive training in listening skills, understanding HIPAA laws and community resources, and more. After receiving training, CCN volunteers, called “connectors,” are matched with IU Health patients, called “companions,” who have self-identified as lonely and desiring of additional support after being discharged from the hospital. Through regular conversations with their Companions, Connectors provide a compassionate, listening ear and help patients ease back into their normal, at-home routines, identify sources of support in their existing circles, and connect to new sources of support and community.

  Read more about CCN here, or watch the video testimonial below featuring Second member Deborah Tobias.

  To learn more about serving as a Connector, please contact Lead Connector Brittany Babbitt.

  Support the Deacon Chancel Flower Delivery Ministry Donate flower vases to support members in need of care.

  Did you know that every Sunday the chancel flowers that are used in worship are then broken down into four flower arrangements and delivered by our deacons to members that are in need of care?

  We use around 160 vases a year! If you have extra medium size vases (not square or bud vases) lying around that you could donate to the church, we will put them to good use! Please bring your vases, at anytime, during the year to the church reception desk. 

  As a reminder, if you or someone in your family is hospitalized, please let us know so that we may offer our support and prayers. If you have any questions, please contact Ashley McNamara at amcnamara@secondchurch.org or 317-726-5413.
