Pastoral Care Ministries
The mission of the Pastoral Care Ministry is to assist the clergy in overseeing the pastoral needs of the parish by being instruments of the healing and transforming presence of the living Christ in the lives of our church family and neighboring community. In this way, we strive to imitate Christ and fulfill the commandments of our Lord Jesus to love one another and to be lights in the world. The Pastoral Care Ministry oversees several active areas of support, loving care, and prayer…
♦ Cancer Support Group
♦ The Care Line
♦ Compassionate Care Ministry
♦ Meal Angels
♦ Prayer Partners
Cancer Prayer & Support Group
The Cancer Prayer and Support Group is a support group for cancer patients, survivors and caregivers that provides a caring and confidential environment where people can share their experiences, victories, fears, and challenges as well as pray together for strength and healing.

The Care Line
The Echo Project →
The Care Line is a way for clergy and parishioners to notify the church that a family member is ill, injured, recovering, in need of prayers or asleep in the Lord. Adding a name to the Care Line will ensure that a Get Well/Sympathy card is mailed to each person on the list who is a parishioner. The information may also be used to assess family needs, clergy visitation if requested and most importantly to have our parish pray for these individuals. This is a public list so before sharing the name of the person in need of prayers with the Care Line leader, please make sure you have the individual’s approval. Names will remain on the list for 40 days from date of submission. To submit a name for prayers please reach out to our Care Line. The list is provided so that our parishioners can pray for those on the list.
