Our Goal:
The goal of the Pastoral Care ministry is "To support and enrich the life of the parish through listening to and caring for one another in genuine love." ::read meeting minutes::

Parishioners helping each other:
Parishioners have cooked meals, driven others to church and doctors, delivered flowers at Easter and Christmas, and watched over young children and the very ill. Pastoral Care "Inreach" funds have been used to help with housing, a cell phone for people who cannot afford phone service, and flowers for people who were ill, in the hospital, or had a baby. We kept track of which parishioners responded to our requests for help and tried to keep from asking the same people too often.
We recorded 54 occasions of meals or rides provided to 24 families. Flowers from the "Altar of Repose" were delivered to 23 parishioners on Good Friday, and poinsettias delivered to 37 parishioners near Christmas. Flowers were delivered to over 20 people during the year. We currently have a pool of 90 people who are willing to help with emergencies.
