The mission of the Pastoral Care Commission is to extend the boundaries of St. Peter's beyond the church grounds to minister to the spiritual needs of those parishioners who cannot attend regular worship services and to offer practical assistance to those members of our parish experiencing short-term needs.
This ministry is vital to the needs of our church family and addresses the short-term needs of our parishioners. Meals are prepared, errands run, visits made, and transportation is provided. We even have a secret parishioner who sends birthday cards. The welcoming of visitors and prospective members is an important ministry. Receptions are held on a regular basis. The monthly coffee hour is another time we focus on getting to know new members. The membership committee provides a package that includes information about St. Peter's and our many activities. We work to get new members involved in a ministry as quickly possible to start building a relationship and commitment.
College Students and members of the Military are communicated with on a regular basis to let them know of what is going on back home. Special notes, cards and packages are sent throughout the year.
Each active parishioner is assigned to a Vestry member. The Vestry member is a resource to the parishioner for assistance. Our Vestry calling tree is used to communicate significant events.
