There's more. . .
The Caring Committee supplements the minister’s pastoral work by reaching out to parishioners
in times of illness or transition. The group coordinates visits, phone calls, and cards for parishioners
who are housebound, hospitalized, in nursing homes or who are generally in need of support.
With a list of church members and friends who are willing to offer many types of assistance during
a time of need, we rely on their willingness and generosity—key to the support of our community.

If you're interested in lending your time to volunteer, please let us know.
We'd love to include you on our volunteer list.
