In the early eighties, the Council of Churches helped organize groups to provide worship services for those in convalescent hospitals around the valley. In 1984, this ministry was established as an independent organization, Convalescent Hospital Ministry of Santa Clara County. It is an important ministry, active in reaching our elders and providing them with worship services and pastoral care.
