Pastoral Care

Pastoral Care

Chair: Jeanine Parlett Littlehale
      The Pastoral Care Ministry team upholds the overall mission of Trinity by
      providing comfort, counsel, and nurture to members, by equipping large segments of the congregation for mutual ministries in bearing one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), thus enabling the pastor to shepherd the flock of God (1 Peter 5:2) and by seeking to bring the Gospel to bear on the lives of individuals as they go through difficult or trying times.
      There are many ministries in which people with passion, giftedness, and interest can serve:
     

Basket Ministry

     

The basket team sends out cards to those that are ill or in need of cheer. Birthdays and anniversaries are remembered. Often, the flowers in the Sanctuary are delivered to a shut-in or someone in the hospital each Sunday afternoon after the final service.
     

Shut – in project

     

Four times a year we enlist the congregation to help make the shut-ins and bereaved members know we care. For example, we make Valentines and help members connect through a phone call or some other nurture.

     

Shut – in Communion

     

Since we care very much for those who are homebound, a committee member accompanies the Pastor to give communion to those who cannot attend church physically..

     

College Ministry

     

Plans and executes a Christmas dinner for college students in our congregation.

     

Visitation

     

Visits the sick and lonely at home or in the hospital.
     

Memorial Receptions

     

We organize memorial receptions for deceased members of our congregation.
     

Helping Hands

     

We nurture to the needs of the congregation with assistance, such as getting to and from appointments, grocery shopping, paying bills, and handy-man chores.

     

Care Notes

     

Care notes are booklets in the Narthex and available to the congregation on many different subjects. This committee makes sure the rack is always stocked.
