Who receives Pastoral Care? PDF Print E-mail

Who receives pastoral care?  Every parishioner is eligible, we just need to know when you're sick, are scheduled for surgery, expecting a baby or celebrating a new birth.  If you need a ride to the doctor or a few days of meals after a hospitalization or after the death of a loved one, just call the church office.  A phone call will get your name on the prayer list.  If you need more, please let the church office know, or you can leave a confidential voice mail message for the clergy or the parish nurse.

Stephen Ministries PDF Print E-mail

Stephen Ministry is a special ministry in which one Christian reaches out to another in time of need.

A structured program of training and preparation for a caring relationship.

An opportunity to reach out to others: the lonely, the depressed, the inactive, the bereaved, new people in town, those hospitalized and convalescing, the divorced and the aged.

An ongoing helping relationship with scheduled regularity, dependability and confidentiality.

A meaningful way for our church to use more fully our many talents in sharing one another's burdens and joys.

Stephen Ministers receive approximately 50 hours of training based solidly on Biblical testimony and drawing from the best tools of the health and psychological sciences before beginning their Caregiving work.

Commissioned Stephen Ministers serve two-year terms, along with attending continuing education class.
