Caregivers’ Support Ministry
Mission Statement:
​
Our mission is to Grow Disciples of Jesus Christ by sharing His love and caring and supporting those who are primary Caregivers to others. This mission follows Galatians 6:2 that states, “Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ”.
​
Our Vision: is to provide a confidential support group community for all caregivers in our Parish Community to meet and share their caregiving journey, celebrations and struggles. Our vision is that Carers will build new relationships with those facing similar challenges and encourage one another on this journey.
​
The Ministry team will:
​
Assist in supporting caregivers in their research and access to necessary resources, and especially those with a focus on Dementia and Alzheimer’s care.
​
Be accountable to the clergy and Pastoral Care Forum leadership and will consist of four or five members to:
-
Facilitate group discussions,
-
Research and identify resources for caregivers,
-
Manage a resource database of professional services such as counselors, home-care providers, assisted living facilities, memory care support and day centers to provide respite care to Caregivers
-
Offers Ministry member peer support, coaching and spiritual support
We will work closely with all other pastoral care ministries to extend access to their trained ministry members and organizations.

Additional Parish Resources
Meal Ministry – Offers any Parishioner the opportunity to take a meal for themselves to cover a time or situation in which they have difficulty preparing a cooked meal for themselves. There is no restriction on the circumstances or reason for the meal being of help and support to the parishioner or their family. Meals are publicly promoted on the weekends of the first and third weekends of each month from the Parish Hall kitchen. For more information, please contact Tom Martin, Don Loeber or Peter Williams
JOBS Ministry (“Just Others Being Servants”) - Consists of groups of two or more men assigned to a potential “job” after coordination members have verified the nature of the help required by a household and the appropriateness of the “job”. Once an appointment suitable to both the crew and household is determined the JOBS Crew arrives with their own tools to handle the assignment. The JOBS Crew will not climb on roofs, lift heavy furniture/garden objects; provide transportation favors, shopping, or similar errands. For additional information, please contact Rudy Lind at admin@peterandpaul.org or 470-362-9609.
