Pastoral Care Team and UniCare
Care and support
for members and friends
Our
UU principles
call on us to affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity
of every person, and to practice compassion in human relations.
One way we do this is through our Pastoral Care Team and
UniCare.
Through the work of these two
groups, we:
-
Provide a caring presence
through visits, calls, and other contacts that allow us to
listen, accept, comfort, and support one another.
-
Receive requests for care, from the person themselves, or
from concerned others.
-
Talk with members of our beloved community to learn about
members and friends who may have concerns.
-
Maintain
a
Rehab
Equipment Database
to link people with equipment
-- walkers, canes, and other aids
-- that they may borrow. -
Coordinate responses to requests and concerns.

What does the Pastoral Care Team do? |

The
Pastoral Care Team is a group of trained lay volunteers who work

one who is part of our congregation feels isolated or alone.
