Pastoral Care |
| |
At St. Andrew's you will find a deep commitment to pastoral care. Many individuals take on personal responsibilities for the pastoral care of others. We visit one another when in need, offer rides to those without transportation, stay in touch by phone, bring flowers to shut-ins, provide food for parishioners in the midst of big life events, and take communion to those who cannot make it to church.
We are a community of loving people who want to help each other as needs arise, but can miss an opportunity to pastorally care for others because we are not aware of what is transpiring in their lives. So, if you know of someone in need, please contact the church office at (865) 983-3512, or one of the coordinators listed below.
