Pastoral Care Ministry
We need you...the helping hands and willing hearts of parish members to accomplish our mission in reaching out and sharing God's love with our parish community at Christ Church.
We are calling out to all cooks and willing hosts and hostesses! The Fellowship Group is responsible for hospitality needs when we have a special church event.
We have special needs too! We need help in responding to the needs of parish members with special concerns - perhaps providing transportation to a doctor's appointment, making a phone call, or taking delicious home made food items from the Christ Church Martha's Cupboard freezer to someone in need.
Pastoral Care welcomes you to join us.
Mission
The purpose of Pastoral Care Ministry is to promote Christian fellowship, caring and well-being within the parish, and to provide imporved opportunities for increased social contact among parishioners. The mission of Pastoral Care Ministry is to reach out and share God's love by being present and supportive to our parish community. The ministry groups included in Pastoral Care Ministry are:
