Pastoral Care
Pastoral Care
Pastoral Care :
Saint Andrew's Church has an active and busy Pastoral Care Group made up of our Minister, Session Members, and Congregational Members; however, everyone in our Church seems to be involved in Pastoral Care, from greeting members and visitors on the street before Church to hospital visiting, senior visitation, visitation to new families, and visitation to families who might be in some kind of crisis - bereavement, serious illness and the like. There is a card ministry in which greeting cards are sent to members experiencing grief, celebrating a significant birthday or anniversary or a new birth.
Church Recordings
There is also a recorded service ministry in which those shut-ins who wish to hear Church services but cannot attend for some reason have tapes of the service along with bulletins for that particular service delivered to their residence.
Tuesday Morning Women’s Group
The Tuesday Morning Women's Group do much in the way of Pastoral Care by making soup for the soup kitchen, making cookies for the seniors and shut-ins at Christmas, delivering flowers at Valentine's Day, and supporting other worth-while charities including our own Church.
You are invited to call the Church office at 455-8220 and let them know how we can help.
We cannot provide the care we wish to in adhering to the mandate from Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour, if we do not know of any sickness or other problem As Saint Teresa said : "Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely, and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work. Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do...but how much love we put into that action.".
