PASTORAL CARE
The Pastoral Care Committee works with and supports the pastoral ministry of the clergy in reaching out to parishioners at Church of the Epiphany. We support those facing illness, loss, or life transitions. We share in moments of celebration and joy. We reach out to those who need extra support. We depend on the congregation to keep us in touch with the pastoral needs of our community.

PASTORAL CARE GROUPS
Community of Hope
The Community of Hope is a group of lay volunteer pastoral caregivers united in prayer, shaped by Benedictine spirituality, and equipped for serving in pastoral care ministries.

If you or a loved one would like to receive a pastoral visit or home communion by one of the trained caregivers, please contact Ann Fowler.
