Pastoral Care

Jesus is asking us to
Feed those who are hungry
Give a drink to those who are thirsty
Visit those who are imprisoned

Are you wanting to respond to this invitation but don’t know how?
Consider joining the Pastoral Care Ministry Team of St. John’s Church!

Pastoral Care has been restructured at St. John’s Church as we continue to grow as a church family. Two ministry teams have been formed:

A. Pastoral Care Visiting Team – Members commit to:

  • Visit one or more of our parishioners on a regular basis for a length of time dependant on the needs of each parishioner
  • Attend a monthly meeting with all visiting team members and the Rector in order to provide ongoing communication and ensure continuous care – meetings are held on the last Friday of the month, 10am – 12 noon.
B. Meal Ministry TeamMembers commit to:
  • Ensuring that nutritious meals are available to our parishioners and their families during times of emergency or profound loss. Frozen meals are kept in the freezer in the church kitchen
  • An ideal ministry for those who love to cook, and/or prefer to work behind the scenes.
Some of our parishioners thirst for your company, conversation and prayers; some are fed with good meals made with love; and some are imprisoned or isolated in their homes, a hospital bed or an extended care facility, and long to be remembered and visited.

The Pastoral Care Ministry Team of St. John’s Church...
God’s compassionate presence in action!

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you... Is. 43:2
