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.
