Westminster Pastoral Care Committee
Serving the Homebound through Faith & Fellowship |
|
The Pastoral Care Committee is committed to ensuring homebound members and homebound caregivers of Westminster Presbyterian Church feel as connected and involved to church life as those who regularly worship and participate within the premises. Regardless of age, whether our members are temporarily or permanently homebound and unable to attend due to medical reasons, the goal of this committee remains the same.
|
| This committee not only provides comfort, companionship and care to homebound members, but through their own lay ministry, receive great joy themselves. We invite anyone wishing to share Westminster’s ministry with the homebound to contact the church. Some committee members regularly visit homebound members while other enjoy providing Home Communion on a monthly basis or even annually by either delivering Easter lilies or Christmas poinsettias to members who are “Homebound for the Holidays”. |
In addition, this committee provides oversight of the Funeral Reception Service Team, the Interfaith Caregiver Program, Membership Caring Ministries of Westminster including lay ministry shut-in visitation, holistic care, parish nursing, and prayer chain programs.

If you are a lover of the written word and know the meaning of how important it is to be remembered on a special occasion or at a particularly difficult time of loss, then we would invite you to join this committee. Members write birthday cards to anyone who has reached their 75th birthday and extend the sympathy of the membership when a connection to the church is most needed. If you also like to use the computer, your help is always needed in responding to prayer request.
|
| Please contact the Pastoral Care Committee if you, your family member or another member of the Westminster Presbyterian membership is homebound for any reason. A member of the committee will respectfully and privately contact the individual or family to keep them connected in fellowship during their home-stay. Call 522-4415 and ask to speak with a pastor. |
