Pastoral Care Ministry

Life is hard sometimes. We experience sickness, job loss, broken hearts, and broken bodies. We want to support you through those difficult times.

Do you need a listening ear or a helping hand? We offer pastoral care for First Church members with varied needs.

Pastoral Care Associate – Services Available

We seek to support each other as we journey together through life’s mountains and valleys, through our personal and common sorrows and struggles. When you need a listening ear, because of:

• a recent illness
• an upcoming surgery
• divorce
• life transitions
• job loss
• death of a loved one

A Pastoral Care Associate is ready to be a gentle listener, if you choose. Contact Lynn Connolly, Pastoral Care Associate Coordinator.

Pastoral Care Provider – Services Available

Volunteers are available to give rides or bring meals to other church members in need. When you need a helping hand, if:

• you have a new baby and need a meal (or two or three)
• you break your leg and need a ride to the doctor
• you are coming home from the hospital and would appreciate a meal

A Pastoral Care Provider is ready to be helpful, if you choose. Contact Liz Irwin, Pastoral Care Provider Coordinator.
