There are many people that may need a pastoral visit (hospitalized, homebound , nursing home, tragedy, illness or injury, financial concerns, mental health issues, and others). We would love to help! We are not always in the know about people in need; HIPPA Laws and people "being afraid to ask for help" can prevent us from being our church community presence to those in need. Please, if you or someone you know might be in need of a visit or phone call, let us know.
