Hospice Volunteers

From Meadowlark Hospice:

All of us search for meaning in life.  One path some have taken is sharing end of life journeys with others.  It is a path strewn with both sadness and joy.  In addition, one often leads to a greater understanding of life, death and self.

As a hospice volunteer, it is our privilege to care for and learn from those who seek assistance in facing death with courage, comfort, peace, and dignity. If direct patient care is not for you; there are other opportunities to help with administration duties or fundraisers, or you can do all three.  All our volunteers make a difference in the lives of our patients and their families.  Please call Darlene Melton, Hospice Volunteer Coordinator; at

785-632-2225 or fill out and return the form you can find in the church office. 

Church Membership

If you are interested in joining our church, instructions and applications can be picked up in the church office. They are located on the half-wall.

Bibles
