[Faith-talk] How do you become a chaplin, or be able to be there for those who are sick in hospitals?

[Jenny Keller]

Hi Weslie,

No, we don't have a ministry like that, but I can see if my church would be willing to link up with other churches to do something like that.  

I am a Mormon, so not exactly the main stream thing, but I'm not out to convert someone who is in a sick or dying position.  Just to pray with, or just be with someone who is possibly alone in that situation of being sick or dying and to hold their hand as they pass on.

Does your church have a nursing home ministry?  My church has a nursing home ministry and each month they visit the nursing home and take bananas to the residents along with other different kinds of fruits.  However, i do belong to a group that plays old time gospel music at a nursing home and the residents love it when we come to play for them.  They enjoy it.  I have found that connecting with other churches helps out greatly.  I attend my family church but am involved with other churches as well.
