Pastoral Care

If you are in need or know of someone who would benefit from one of the following services, please let us know:

• Hospital or home visits – visits to the hospital or the home to comfort, to talk, and/or to pray and may include the Eucharist
• Lay Eucharist ministry – Eucharist brought and served to those unable to attend Sunday morning or Wednesday noon services
• Flower ministry – flowers delivered to celebrate, to acknowledge, and to commiserate in addition to Christmas poinsettias and Easter flowers to members unable to travel to church
• Meals to new parents and those recovering from illness and/or surgery – homemade meals delivered to the home on an as-needed basis
• Rides to church – car rides provided to those who otherwise would not be able to attend one of the four Sunday services
• Prayer list – names added to the St. Mark’s prayer list, posted in the Sunday bulletin and prayed for at weekly prayer meetings

Pastoral Care touches the heart and the soul of those in need by lessening the impact of being alone, being ill, or being overwhelmed.
