Most of our hymns are traditional favorites as shown at the YouTube link here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeXBVY4R5ycHA5dhyLAt-Aw/playlistsWe can find a location and time that works for you. You can sign up for a weekly service or if you are not able to play regularly, then we always need backups when our regulars are on vacation. Music groups and ensembles are also welcome to join SpiritCare to play regularly or for special events.Many of the seniors in care homes can't get to church.

About SpiritCare Ministry to Seniors
For over 30 years we have provided worship services in care communities in the San Francisco Bay Area. We need volunteers who can help with the services by accompanying hymn-singing on a piano, singing, reading scripture and helping hand-out music. We also need volunteers to help with our administration, helping in outreach to volunteers and volunteer management. We serve over 60 care communities in the San Francisco Bay Area and are looking for volunteer pastors who can take a home and provide a communion service once a month there. We served about 1400 residents a month in care communities. We need people who can visit regularly to chat with older adults one-on-one - maybe read a story, share a game, pray with people or share pictures. We also need board members who have a passion for helping older adults and agree with our mission to help raise funds. This is a ministry that families with children can participate in. Children can communicate with elders by sharing their stories, pictures and toys. The ministry also helps children develop public speaking and musical talent by encouraging them to help in the worship services - for example a group of children may sing a song or play music with a guitar. We also have talented musical children who can give recitals of acoustic instruments.
