The Caring Committee

The Caring Committee’s purpose is to provide lay pastoral care and practical help for the church community. We recognize members and friends who are to be congratulated or who are in need of help. Accomplishments and words of comfort are frequently expressed in Open Minds & Open Hearts, the UUCCH Newsletter, as well private displays of support.

If you or anyone you know have news to share or are in need of help, you may contact the Caring Committee through the church office. All discussions with members are conducted with an attitude of confidentiality. We activate networking in the church community for support for members ill and otherwise in need. We do not provide in-depth counseling; rather, active listening is employed.

Major Activities:
- Visit persons who are ill or unable to attend church activities
- Provide transportation to church functions for those no longer able to drive but still
  of participation.
- Provide support in the form of meals or transportation.
- Send cards of sympathy, get well cards, etc.
- Write columns in the newsletter about church members (confidentiality is preserved).
- Meet monthly to formulate plans to help church members in need.

New members are welcome to join the Caring Committee at any time. Please see Nancy Newcomer to express interest or complete the Contact Us form.
