The minister visits shut-ins and the sick in hospital and is available for
counseling to the troubled or bereaved. |

The Pastoral Care Committee gives comfort and support to the congregation.
Each committee member regularly phones or visits those who are ill, unable
to get out or going through a difficult time. Seasonal greeting, sympathy,
thinking-of-you and get-well cards are sent on behalf of the congregation.
Plants as well as flowers from Sanctuary decorations are delivered to
congregation members in residences, providing an opportunity for a
friendly visit. |
|
The committee holds afternoon teas providing home-made treats and relaxed
chats with the minister, and also arranges transportation for those needing
drives to and from medical appointments, worship services and other
church events. Pastoral Care keeps albums up to date with photographs
and mementos of the congregation's many activities. |
