Every congregation has family & friends who have been diagnosed with cancer. Cancer creates a crisis for those affected by cancer, the entire family and loved ones. The diagnosis is frightening. The treatment is difficult. The aftershocks are long lasting. Families facing cancer often look for a place where they can find the support and understanding they need to cope with the long term effects of cancer. It was for this reason that the Cancer Support Ministry was founded at HSLC in 2018. Our Purpose: The Cancer Support Ministry is a group of people who have had a diagnosis of cancer or who have a family member or friend who has had a diagnosis of cancer. We share together the often difficult process of coping with the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Our basic purpose is to support each other spiritually and emotionally so that we can live each day to its fullest. The Cancer Support Ministry is not a medical clinic, a hospice program, or a group of experts who offer advice on the treatment of cancer. We are a group of people who are eager to listen, to share our own struggles and joys and to pray for each other.
