As a church community we seek to care for one another's practical, emotional and spiritual needs. Much of this happens in an informal way or through the friendships that develop in small groups. In addition, you can contact the pastoral care coordinator to ask for someone from the church to visit you or to share a prayer request.
You can e-mail the Pastoral Care Co-ordinator.
During the summer holidays, fourteen of us met to discuss setting up a street wide system of pastoral care in the village.
Through whole group discussions and in smaller groups we thought through the setting up of pastoral care street by street and how we go about the on-going work of caring for one another. Issues such as boundaries, confidentiality, trust and prayerfulness were all thought to be essential.
Church members in Foxhollow have been the first street to start meeting. A soup tasting evening was such a great success that more social events will follow, starting with a games evening and a barbeque. By getting to know each other better we will be more able to pray together, give each other practical help and perhaps work together on a project for the church.
I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.
- John 13 v34
