I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
-John 13:34-35


Our Ministries

Jesus promised he would never leave us comfortless. As heirs to his promise, we practice a ministry of presence for one another in times of special need through our Pastoral Care Ministry. The ministry consists of prayer and action. We pray for all on our prayer lists and we act through the following ministries.

 

Providing Meals

The MealTrain, a group of about 20 parishioners, supplies dinners to parishioners in need of support due to illness, loss, or a new baby, while Caring Caterers supply a one-time emergency frozen main course to parishioners. If you or someone you know could use a meal, please email us or call us at 804-798-6336.

Visiting the Homebound

Parish Visitors are of two kinds; some of them make friendly visits to parishioners who are homebound or ill, while others are trained to establish in-depth relationships with people experiencing short or long term issues that pose a challenge. If appropriate, the visitors will refer to our parish nurse, also a member of the Pastoral Care team. If you or someone you know could use a visit, please email us or call us at 804-798-6336.

Anyone interested in receiving care or feeling called to this ministry of mercy and presence should contact: committee coordinator Stephanie Werner .

Grief Group

This is a group that meets Mondays at 10:30am.  It is a group dedicated to be present to one another as they experience grief, in whatever form it may come.  If you or a loved one has experienced loss and would like to be part of our group, email Harrison or give us a call at 804-798-6336 for more details.  Everyone is wanted and welcome.
