Nursing Home Ministry of Compassion
This ministry was established in October of 2002 under Solomon Jones Ministry, which has been embraced and become a part of the outreach ministry of The House of Compassion. The Nursing Home Ministry takes place at Wyant Wood Care Facility located at 200 Wyant St. in Akron, Ohio. It is held the first Saturday of every month from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. This is a time filled with fellowship, praise, exhortation, and service of the Eucharist to the residents. Our goal is to be a blessing to the residents and let them know God has not forgotten or forsaken them.
Vision Statement
To be a blessing to others in everything we do and everywhere we go.
