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.

- 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.
