The Fourth Sunday After Easter
Pastoral Care
The Pastoral Care team is here to support our fellow parishioners, as many of us experience a variety of transitions: loss of family members, health challenges, change of residence or job status. We also share in the joy of new births, graduations, restored health, and new opportunities. The team sends notes to you when you experience a loss, a birth or other major event, when you have a major illness or if you are celebrating a baptism. Team members also send Christmas and Easter cards to the place bound. We keep in touch with our church family via phone calls, emails, texts, regular mail as well as in-person visits. We send a series of four grief booklets to those recently bereaved. We pray for the more than a dozen people who have been bereaved in the last twelve months and we send Advent cards to them. Members have provided transportation to medical appointments and are looking for more people who can help with this.
Our team maintains up to date lists of people needing prayer, the place-bound and of about twenty others who have concerns, but do not wish to be on the prayer list. Pastoral Care meets regularly with Rev. Anne for updates and additional support. We appreciate it when concerns are shared with us so that we might follow up with fellow parishioners.
If you would like to receive communion at home, be given transportation to a medical appointment or would be willing to provide transportation to someone else for medical appointments, please let Kay Failla at KayNF@aol.com or Carol Franklin at carol.franklin2@verizon.net know.
