| Home Communion Ministers
extend the Eucharist beyond the church itself by taking the sacrament
to sick or shut-in parishioners. Any adult communicant may be licensed
to serve. Special Friends visit our sick and shut-in parishioners, in
their homes or in hospitals or nursing homes. Members of the Casserole
Brigade provide meals and other kinds of support to parishioners
in times of challenge and crisis-a new baby, an illness, a death in
the family, as yet another way of showing our love and concern for people
in need. Transporters offer rides to church, to the grocery store,
and to doctors' appointments. Parishioners who assist with Funeral
Receptions put together simple receptions which take place in the
Parish Hall. All of us who have experienced crisis know that critical
needs may arise unexpectedly. Having a number of parish volunteers available
means that we can meet these needs rapidly and efficiently, always remembering
that our purpose is to serve. The
vestry Chair for Pastoral Care, Kathleen
Rinehart,
welcomes your involvement. |
