CALLED TO CARE

The Called to Care Ministry at St. Paul’s United Church of Christ grew from the suggestions of a group of members who heard the call to reach out to people in the congregation.  The vision this group had has grown to an important ministry in the congregation.

The group is composed of a visitation team who has been trained in listening skills.  This training enables members of the team to be better listeners and offers them the support of others as they engage in this ministry.  In the words of one of our team “Called to Care is a small group of caring St. Paul’s members who have been trained to reach out to the hurting, sorrowing, troubled and ill members of our church. This team coordinates various programs and projects in the congregation centering on health issues.
