Our congregational care team extends a ministry of love and connection to our members, to those connected with our membership, to our greater community, and to the world. We work to respond with Christ’s love to life events, illnesses, bereavements, and long-term changes in abilities. Congregational care encompasses all sorts of vibrant ministries including taking altar flowers to the hospital, home visitation, home communion, frozen casseroles delivery, Stitch and Pray ministry, card ministry, support groups, volunteer parish nursing, and many more.
