Pastoral Care

The Church of the Holy Spirit has an active pastoral care program. The Pastoral Caregivers Committee meets monthly to review the pastoral care needs of parishioners and arranges support where it is needed. Its major goal is to maintain a caring presence with all members of the parish, especially with those who are confined to home, hospital, or another facility.

The Greeting Card Ministry – sends cards and notes to people every month.

The Terraces’ Assisted Living Sunday Morning Ministry – members of our pastoral care and tech teams connect residents to our Sunday morning service on Zoom.

Flower Ministry – Sunday flowers are delivered to parishioners.

The Intercessory Prayer Group – offers confidential, emergency prayer. Requests are accepted by members of the pastoral care committee and clergy.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry – provides shawls, knitted or crocheted by parishioners and blessed by clergy for the comfort and support of those experiencing illness or times of stress.

Eucharistic Visitors – bring communion to parishioners at home, in hospitals, and in other care facilities when they are unable to attend regularly scheduled worship services. Currently on hiatus.

Living With Loss – a support group for those mourning the death of a spouse, parent, child, or friend. Currently on hiatus.

The Men’s Lunch Group – provides men with a place to share time with each other, to welcome men new to the area, and to discuss the challenges of major life changes such as retirement, illness, and bereavement. The group is open to the public.

The Women’s Luncheon Group – provides women with a place to share time with each other, to welcome women who are new to the area, and to discuss the challenges of major life changes such as retirement, illness, and bereavement. The group is open to the public and usually meets on the first Thursday of each month.
