The Caring Committee’s goal is to provide 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 comfort.

If you or anyone you know has news to share or is in need of help, you may contact the Caring Committee through the church office or by filling in and submitting the concern form found below. All discussions are confidential. We activate church community networks to provide support for members who are ill or otherwise in need. We do not provide in-depth counseling; rather, we offer active listening.

On November 13th, we held an End of Life Planning session which you can view here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18lRQstKYP4Mk969TDA1zg0cDHpCv8p4L/view?usp=sharing
