This small group of volunteers meet and communicate regularly to catch up on the progress of people we have been asked to support and to think about different ways we might show care to our church family and beyond.

Some of the things we do:

  • send cards to people to let them know we are thinking of them.
    It might be that they are unwell or bereaved, or they are celebrating a marriage or a new child or a significant birthday or anniversary. We send cards to families who have had a baptism, wedding or funeral in church for a year afterwards.
  • visit or call people who are isolated or having a difficult time.
    We can also arrange for someone to bring communion to your home if you would find that helpful.
  • pray for people
    We have both long term and emergency prayer systems. We also collect prayer shawls knitted by members of our congregation and distribute them to people needing to know they are loved.
  • keep in touch with church members who are housebound

We are only as good as the information we are given, so please PLEASE let us know if you or someone you know is in need of some support and care.
