Pastoral Care
Love Your Neighbor
The ministry of outreach—heeding God’s call to serve our community and the world—is central to our vitality and health as the Body of Christ. Christ’s command to care for the least among us is not the only reason for our care and acts of faith: We are promised new life when we give of ourselves by following Christ and participating in the kingdom of God by breaking out among us and in our lives.
Join us in working, praying, and giving to spread the kingdom of God. Your time, your prayers and your gifts are all needed as we strive to be Christ’s hands and feet in the world.
COMMUNITY OF HOPE INTERNATIONAL
This lay-led pastoral care team, is guided by the Rule of St. Benedict, and especially his call to cultivate balance and harmony in prayer, worship, silence, holy reading, and serving others. These trained care givers extend the capacity of our parish to nurture a community centered on spiritual encouragement, grace, comfort and hope. Contacts: Leigh MacHaffie & Cindy Page
EUCHARIST VISITORS
LEVs bring the sacramental presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to members of our parish who cannot come to church at regular service times because of illness or infirmity.
They receive training from the Diocese. Before a LEV is assigned to visit, they must undergo a background check and complete The Episcopal Church's Safe Church training on engaging with at-risk and vulnerable populations.
If you are interested in receiving a home visit with Eucharist send an email to pastoralcare@gssepiscopal.org
If you interested in becoming a licensed Eucharist Visitor, please contact The Rev. Kris Lewis, deacon
DAUGHTERS OF THE KING (DoK)
Our order’s mission is to know Jesus Christ, to make Him known to others, and to become reflections of God’s love throughout the world.
The Angels of Grace Chapter of Daughters of the King fulfills our Service to the parish by praying daily for those who request prayer for themselves or others. For prayer requests please contact contact us via the link below.
If you are already a member of a chapter and would like to join us, please contact us via the link below.
If you are interested in becoming a member of Angels of Grace, no special spiritual attributes are needed. Only a desire to draw nearer to God, and to help others do the same.
