Pastoral Care

Pastoral care is how the church demonstrates its love and concern for its members. Those who pastor have as their primary goal assisting the individual or family through a chronic or acute crisis. This crisis might involve living with a long or short term illness, dealing with interpersonal problems, being confined to home or nursing facility, managing financial strain, dealing with bereavement, navigating parental waters, or other issues.

 Prayer Shawls

Whether they are called Prayer Shawls, Comfort Shawls, Peace Shawls, or Mantles, etc., the shawl maker begins with prayers and blessings for the recipient. The intentions are continued throughout the creation of the shawl. Shawls can be used for: undergoing medical procedures; as a comfort after a loss or in times of stress; during bereavement; prayer or meditation; commitment or marriage ceremonies; birthing, nursing a baby; bridal shower or wedding gift; there are endless possibilities!

 Food Collection

 Each week, non-perishable items are collected and distributed to local food pantries.
