About the committee:
The number one goal of the Pastoral Care Committee is to keep in touch with members of our congregation who are struggling with a life-changing situation, such as an illness or death in the family, aging issues, or loneliness. Some situations are obvious, and we are able to assist in various ways, including visits and meals.
Support may include phone calls, delivery of home-cooked meals, home or hospital visits, transportation, hospital survivor kits for the caregivers who may spend endless hours in a sterile waiting room, get well and thinking of you cards, or any other assistance that may be requested. Pastoral care partnerships ensure that contact is being maintained with those who may be alone or may have needs. It is amazing what a difference a friendly visit and a warm meal can make in lifting one’s spirits.
Ongoing study, speakers, and discussion keep committee members educated, informed, and equipped for one-on-one assistance to our members.
Chairperson serves as a member of the Church Charge Conference and Church Council.
