Grief Ministry

I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken for He is right beside me.

We all go through periods of suffering and loss, but you don't have to go through it alone. Jesus wants to walk with you and so do we.

Communion visits - Homebound

Our Pastoral Visitors are available to visit homebound parishioners, as well as those who have transitioned to assisted living or hospice care. Pastoral Visitors bring comfort and encouragement, Christian fellowship and prayerful support. If you choose, they can also bring Communion.

For those staying in the hospital, it can be a frightening and lonely ordeal. We would like to support and encourage you during that difficult time. Our Pastoral Visitors are ready to visit with you or your loved one, pray together and, if you choose, share Communion.
