Hospital Visitations and Prayer Concerns

We will be glad to visit you, or your family, if you are in the hospital, and also re-spect your wishes if it turns out that when we arrive, it is not to be a good time to visit.

But YOU need to be sure to tell one of us, or the office, when you are in the hospital. We are NOT notified by the hospital, nor will they give us any details of the reason for your visit. The concern for patient’s confidentiality has increased dramatically.

Along with that concern for confidentiality, all of us need to be careful in sharing prayer concerns in the worship on Sunday. Our service is public and is often tape-recorded.

We need to be certain that we have someone’s per-mission before using their name in the service, and even then, to respect their privacy and not give out all the details of the illness or the treatment.

For our prayers it is often enough to know that someone is in a particular hospital. If you wish to tell one of the pastors more details, that should be done after the service in a more private setting.

We certainly want to continue our tradition of caring for each other and up-holding each other in prayer, but we also need to respect each other’s privacy and dignity.
