The Pastoral Care Ministry is committed to serving God by living the Gospel.  As skilled and faithful ministers, we share one another’s burdens by listening, caring, learning and praying. 
  
Who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. Corinthians 2:1-4
