As Christians we are called to care for one another. Pastoral care at St. John's involves clergy, trained lay ministers, and lay volunteers who are there to help in times of grief, trouble, illness, or celebration.

Home Visits

We visit people in their homes and long-term care facilities in order to offer prayer, spiritual care, and companionship. This can include delivering notes, small plants and flowers to brighten the spirits of our older members throughout the year. Clergy can also offer home communion, which can provide spiritual comfort and connection to the church community.

Hospital Visits

We also visit people when they are in a hospital or rehab center. Clergy are available to provide the Sacrament and prayers for spiritual nourishment and physical healing. Our pastoral care team strives to be with you in times of pain, stress, and fear. 

Prayer Support

We want to support people through prayer, so we incorporate in our prayers–public and individual–persons with a variety of concerns, including prayers of thanksgiving for marriages, births, and other life celebrations. Names are printed in our service bulletins; the reason for being listed is kept confidential.

Please let us know when you desire a visit, phone call, or prayer from our Pastoral Care Team, 509-838-4277.
