Lay Pastoral Care.

Our Lay Pastoral Care team provides support to congregation members by making hospital visits and telephone calls to those who are ill. They often provide transportation to and from doctors appointments for those needing assistance. During the Christmas and Easter season, ministry members assist the pastors with visits to those member who are unable to attend church. During these visits, Holy Communion is offered and a small gift from the church is presented.


Activities:
  • Visitations to shut-ins, hospitalized members and nursing home residents
  • Transportation provided, as needed, to doctor or therapy appointments
  • Help with errands to grocery store, pharmacy, etc. as needed
  • Telephone contact to follow up after hospitalization
  • Telephone contact to ascertain needs and provide a caring and supportive ministry to members with health and other concerns
  • Grief support
