Pastoral Care Workshop

Saturday, January 25 from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

By virtue of scripture and baptism, we are all called to love God and neighbor. This truth undergirds our common call to lay pastoral ministry and pastoral care. On Saturday, January 25 from 9:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., Christ Church Cathedral will be hosting a Pastoral Care Workshop for interested members.  The class will include the vital skills of active listening, how to best support those in all grieving situations, how to ask better questions, and more. Topics are covered via interactive games, group discussion, and storytelling. The leaders are Sue Rollins and Anita Ford, who are the Pastoral Care Coordinators for our diocese. In the coming year, the Cathedral will put all manners of pastoral care under one larger umbrella, divided into teams. That will include already strong ministries such as our card-writing with newer efforts, such as a team of lay people to provide pastoral care visits. Interested? Please let Deacon Pratt Paterson know. There is no cost to attend.
