OUR CARING CONNECTIONS
Our Caring Connections program works with
the minister to reach out to members in need of
support and companionship.
Helping Hands provides concrete assistance to church members
by preparing and delivering
meals, offering rides, writing personal notes, welcoming new babies with
assistance and providing
opportunities for congregation members to reach out to others. To express
a need or volunteer as a
“Helping Hands” provider, please contact Coordinator Suzanna
Donahue at zus888@netzero.net
or 412-213-0086.
Kindred Spirits: The minister is assisted by a Lay Pastoral
Care Team, who companion church
members in need of spiritual and emotional support during hospitalizations,
bereavement, life
challenges, isolation, and long-term illness. This lay ministry team receives
pastoral care training
and meets with the minister for supervision, reflection and support. Please
contact Coordinator
Mary Ruth (MR) Kelsey at maryruthkelsey@gmail.com or 412-362-1514.
Some covenant groups, affinity groups, and performing arts groups have
a designated Pastoral
Care Contact who coordinates pastoral care and assistance within the group.
You are encouraged
to let us know, through the minister, the church office, the Director
of Religious Education,or your
covenant group, when you or someone you know is in need of support or
care.
You may contact the minister with pastoral life issues or about memorial
services. The minister will
include you in the pastoral prayer/meditation in our Sunday morning services,
as requested. *During the Rev. David Herndon’s
sabbatical (2/1-8/1), please contact the Rev. Robin Landerman Zucker at
412-871-5252 or flowingforce@comcast.net.
If you would like to join the Caring Connections team, please
contact the Rev. Zucker.
