What is the
Parish Service Committee? |
|
| |
|
There are
times in our lives when we need to know that someone will be there
to walk beside us in life's journey. The Parish Service Committee
reached out to the members and friends of the congregation who, for
a variety of reasons may desire personal support. Members of
the Committee reach out during these times as the institutional
embodiment of the pastoral ministry of the church we bring with us
compassion, care, a listening ear and resources made available by
the congregations. |

help? |

with the minister, members of the Committee are networked with a
wide variety of members and firend of the congregation who are
dedicated to offering support: |

illness or health concern
- Through the different stages of
your life such as job loss, divorce, a move, the arrival of a
child, or retirement
- In times of loss or death within
your family or circle of friends

meals or a sympathetic ear
