Pastoral Care Committee

Our purpose is to care for the congregation in a practical way, collaborating with the Ministerial team. Pastoral Care is the way in which we journey together in times of celebration, sadness and transition. It is the invisible glue which holds our community together. Everything we do is through the lens of our Affirming Faith Statement – Open Hands, Open Hearts and Open Minds. The ethos at St. Thomas is a friendly, welcoming, helping hands family. Our programs include:

• Visiting – our Friend to Friend program where we match visitors and visitees
• Meals, baking, refreshments
• Cards sent on behalf of the congregation
• Funeral receptions on request
• Prayer shawls, Baptismal shawls, Prayer Squares and Quilts
• Hope and Light service each December
• Monthly worship services at senior assisted living residences
• Benevolent fund
• Conversations/Presentations that matter

It takes a village…..and we are that village, congregational care at its finest. We are here to respond in a practical and caring way to the needs of the St.Thomas congregation. Be in touch anytime with the Ministers or any of the PC team.
