Team · Agape Pastoral Care at St. John's is provided by both clergy and laity. The Pastoral Care Committee oversees ways to coordinate and nurture the various efforts to provide pastoral care to all parishioners. This committee focuses on developing new pastoral care initiatives and increasing participation in pastoral care by parishioners. Members of the committee represent various pastoral care ministries described below. The Pastoral Care Committee is assisted by the Vestry's liaison to the Pastoral Care Committee. Altar Flower DeliveryAfter the last Sunday service, volunteers deliver the altar flowers to sick or shut-in parishioners. Volunteers usually are scheduled for two deliveries per year. Contact Lisa Wilcox, 252-1180, to volunteer. Prayer TeamThe Prayer Team is a group of church
members whose ministry is to pray confidentially for parishioners, their
families, and others for whom parishioners request prayers in times of
crisis. Such a crisis might be an accident, illness, surgery or divorce. The
Prayer Team also prays generally for “those in crisis not known to us”
and for “those known only to God.”
The Prayer Team welcomes new members. Even if you do not use email, you can participate. One of the moderators of the Prayer Team will call you, when a prayer request has been received. To join the Prayer Team, please contact Stacy Collins at 603.1771. . Agape MinistryThis year St. John's Guilds will prepare Agape Ministry meals for parishioners who are experiencing sickness or death in their families and for families with new babies. Through the work of the ministry, a freezer at St. John's is kept stocked. A second group of Agape volunteers delivers meals when they are needed. For families with new babies, volunteers also provide a packet of information about baptisms and special prayers for parents. Love
